《Japanese-Style Egg Salad Sandwich》

Egg Salad
＜Ingredients＞
·Eggs (卵) 4
·Milk or soy milk (牛乳か豆乳) 2tbsp
·Salt (塩) 1/4tsp
·Light soy sauce (薄口醤油) 1/2tsp
·Black pepper (ブラックペッパー) Pinch
·Olive oil (オリーブオイル) 1tbsp
·Mayonnaise (マヨネーズ) 2tbsp
·Green shiso (大葉) 10 leaves

＜How to Make＞
1. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl and then add the milk (or soy milk), salt, light soy sauce, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Place a frying pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, and coat the pan evenly with it. Pour in the egg mixture and cook only until the eggs have mostly – but not fully – firmed up. They should be of a soft, almost runny consistency. Transfer the eggs to a mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise while they are still hot. This will help the flavors of the eggs and mayonnaise come together.
3. Assemble the sandwiches. One way to do this is by placing a leaf of green shiso on a slice of bread, adding the eggs, and then topping this with another slice of bread.
