Simple Steps to Make Japanese Egg Salad:
Grease a shallow baking dish (approximately 4-cup capacity) that fits inside a large deep pan with a lid.
Carefully crack the eggs into the baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Place the baking dish inside the larger pan. Fill the pan with enough water to come about 1 centimeter (approximately ½ inch) up the sides of the baking dish.
Cover the pan with the lid and cook over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the eggs stand in the covered pan for an additional 2-3 minutes. This gentle steaming method helps create tender, easily peelable eggs.
Carefully transfer the cooked eggs to a chopping board. Coarsely chop them with a sharp knife.
Transfer the chopped eggs to a mixing bowl.
Stir in the Kewpie mayonnaise, wasabi paste, milk, salt, sugar, and half of the chopped fresh chives. Mix gently until everything is well combined.
To serve, spread the creamy Japanese egg salad on your favorite bread or crackers and sprinkle the remaining chopped chives on top for a fresh finish.
