Kewpie MayonnaiseKewpie Mayonaise, 17.64-Ounce Tubes (Pack Of 2)

I bought this mayo for a Bang Bang Chicken Breast recipe that called for Japanese Mayonaise, it specified "Kewpie" Mayonaise. The recipe mixes the mayo with a chile sauce to make a sauce to baste on hot Skewered Chicken Breasts. The chicken breast was cut into 2" bite size pieces, mixed with some spices: 1/2 tsp ea of chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt, black pepper, then mix in a little olive oil and place on water soaked wooden skewers. Cook 10 min, turn and cook another 10 min or until internal temperature reaches 160°. I cooked it at 400 in an air fryer but you could also grill it. Then you brush on sauce before serving.Not a fan of the sauce I made by itself, but I also only had a Safeway brand Sweet Chili Sauce which may have effected the overall flavor. Sauce was brushed on the hot chicken and it cooked on it like a glaze. Taste was just okay.The bottle is very soft and easy to squeeze to dispense the mayo. Not oil seperation, I think those that complained about that got bottles that had frozen. I had bought the double bottle because it was a better bargain and would recive it faster. Since I barely used any of the first bottle I decided to use the mayo on my ham sandwich today and ... it was pretty good!!! I am used to Helmans Mayo and I think this has a richer flavor. Japanese Mayo is made with egg yolks, no whole eggs like US brands. They also use a rice vinegar. It is a bit expensive so will I buy it again? ... maybe???

Best mayo on the market

The taste is great, and I love using it when I can, but the taste did take some getting used to as it had a bit of a more vinegary/sour-ish flavor compared to your normal Mayo. Otherwise it's rich and creamy and can be used with much more than your typical mayonnaise

Sam the cooking guy 🙏So good!!

I finally bought some after years of seeing people in asia putting it on everything, and when you compare it visually to standard mayonnaise here in the states, it's pretty obvious that it's got something extra going on. First taste, it's a richer flavor with silkiness, but it feels a little understated on things like sandwiches, which is odd. It wasn't until I put it on hot foods that I truly understood what the pros of the mayo were. Kewpie mayo is made with just egg yolks, not whites, meaning more proteins, the oil is vegetable, and vinegar is rice instead of white. The flavor changes and becomes bold when heat is applied, to which my BF who worked as a cook and is a home chef compared it to a hollandaise sauce in composition. While the taste may not be best on something cold, it's absolutely a go to drizzle for things like spicy noodles or fried foods, you can't go wrong. If you haven't tried it, try it, what's the worst that could happen, you're mildly disappointed? As with anything with MSG, if you're sensitive to it, yadda yadda yadda, maybe don't buy it, but why would you be looking at asian foods if you didn't tolerate MSG
