This egg-free Japanese Tamago (egg) Sandwich tastes like the real thing and might be even simpler to make than the traditional version!

With just a handful of ingredients, try making this Japanese Tamago Sando (egg sandwich) which is basically an egg salad tucked in between slices of white milk bread (vegan of course). The filling is super creamy and is rich in that egg-yolk flavour. It can also be easily found in any convenience store in Japan.

I actually don’t like the egg yolk taste and texture of the actual Tamago Sando but this tastes really flavourful but also has that eggy taste at the same time.

Ingredients You Need

  • Japanese milk bread – a vegan version is really hard to find so you can either make it at home or substitute with any soft white bread!
  • Vegan butter – any brand works.
  • Extra firm tofu – this is going to be our egg substitute but it’s all in how you season it!
  • Mayo – vegan kewpie egg-free mayonnaise is the best for this but you can use any brand.
  • Chives – really brings this dish to the next level!
  • Seasonings – black salt is crucial to add that eggy flavour. Turmeric is needed for the colour too!

Gluten Free Option

Luckily, this egg-salad recipe is entirely gluten free (just make your vegan mayo/butter doesn’t contain any gluten). Substitute your white bread with soft gluten-free slices of bread of your choice.
