Kewpie Trix

Botch

Sam the Cooking Guy just published a killer video on different uses for Kewpie Mayo, the Japanese brand that uses just egg yolks and not whites.  All of these sound great, and most of them I wouldn't have thought of, so posting the recipes/ref video here (Sorry about all the double-spacing, I had pasted the recipes into a Pages document and it looked good there....):
 

Kewpie Trix      (STCG) 

How do I love Kewpie? Let me count the ways. Because in addition to the usual stuff...on a sandwich, in a salad, on the outside of a grilled cheese instead of butter - here are some of my favorite uses you might not have thought of.

‍Stirred into Scrambled Eggs

3 eggs

1-2 tablespoons Kewpie

Kosher salt & pepper

·     Simply add Kewpie to the bowl with your eggs before beating, season with salt & pepper

·     Cook as normal - though I'd just keep them super soft (they're better that way)

For Delicious 3 Ingredient Biscuits

1/2 cup Kewpie 

1 cup milk 

2 cups self-rising flour

·     Preheat oven to 400°

·     Whisk Kewpie and milk in a bowl well to combine

·     Add flour and stir until fully incorporated

·     Put dough (3-4 tablespoons worth) onto a parchment covered baking sheet about 2 inches apart - you’ll get anywhere from about 9-12 biscuits

·     Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown

Gloriously Golden Pastry 

Brush puff pastry or pie dough with a layer of Kewpie, then just bake as normal.

For Crazy Delicious Chicken  

Want juicy chicken with extra delicious skin? Of course you do, so brush on the Kewpie before roasting or baking, then season with anything you’d like – I used my pork rub.

My Favorite Shrimp Appetizer

Skewer these ahead of time, and finish them in front of your guests for the best party trick ever

Shrimp, as many as you’d like

Skewers for the shrimp

Neutral oil

Kosher salt & pepper

Kewpie

Togarashi (a Japanese pepper blend) or a little smoked paprika, chili powder anything really

·     Skewer shrimp, lightly oil then season with Kosher salt &pepper

·     Grill on both sides until just about done, about45 seconds a side

·     Brushed top side with Kewpie, then sprinkle lightly with Togarashi, and torch a couple seconds until the Kewpie melts and colors a bit

The Creamiest Mashed Potatoes?

Stir about a tablespoon of Kewpie into every 1.5 cups of mashed potatoes, for creamy, and way more delicious taste.

Roasted Potatoes You’re Going to Love

Don’t question, just do this:

·     Add Kewpie to cut baby potatoes, and then season any way you like

·     Roast at 425 until crispy on the outside, but still fluffy on the inside – 25-30 minutes

Kewpie for a Flatbread or Pizza sauce?

½ cup Kewpie

1 tablespoon each garlic & ginger paste

1 tablespoon any seasoning you like – I used gochugaru, a Korean pepper seasoning– but a bbq seasoning would be great too

One 12inch pre-baked flatbread or pizza crust

½ - ¾ cup shredded mozzarella

1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, cooked in a little oil for about 5 minutes to soften

¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Chopped cilantro to garnish

·     Preheat oven to 500

·     Combine Kewpie, garlic & ginger paste, and seasoning – mix well

·     Spread on crust and top with mozzarella, shiitakes and Parmesan 

·     Bake until golden and beautiful, 10-15 minutes

As Part of a Crunchy Coating for Fish

4 halibut, sea bass or even cod fillets – anything that’s your fav will do

¼ cup Kewpie 

3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs

3 tablespoons crushed almonds/cashews/whatever

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

½ teaspoon each smoked paprika and garlic powder

·     Preheat oven to 400

·     Brush Kewpie on top of each fillet

·     Combine remaining ingredients and sprinkle over the tops, pressing down lightly 

·     Bake about 15 minutes, or until approx. 130degrees

Keep Fish Moist and Help from Sticking on the Grill

Fish on the grill is notorious for sticking…unless you Kewpie-fy it.  

·     Simply brush the outside of either a whole fish, or fillets and season as normal

·     Now just grill as normal – and not only does the sticking issue go away, but you’ve also added a delicious, rich layer that’ll help keep everything

Thanks buddy for taking the time and effort to post all of that!

I saw that video earlier today and they are giving away a few hundred tubes of their mayo. He has the link in the video but it wants you name and date of birth. The DOB was a deal breaker for me

Thanks, @Botch ! We usually have Kewpie on hand, so will definitely try some of these. Very helpful that you posted the recipes, too.

Time to be born on 9/9/99

Our Costco stocks Kewpie in a 2-pack. It's a good deal.

Hopefully they're giving away the real Japanese Kewpie and not the made in USA version which tastes different (not as good) and has different ingredients.

I’ll have to keep an eye open at Costco for this

I was about to make a similar post earlier. I've read that its because the OG Kewpie has MSG, but  the US version doesn't.

Not true, because the the version I bought from Costco is made in the US, and has MSG. As well as rice vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, and apple cider vinegar. Mustard flour, too. All of those sound tasty!

I've had the Japanese version before, but haven't done a side-by-side taste test.

I've had both side-by-side and they definitely taste different. My preference is for the Japanese version but that could just be my bias of being used to years of eating that one.

I didn't even know there was a US made version until a year or so ago. I got an order from Amazon that had a different label and tasted different which prompted me to look at the label - product of USA. It doesn't taste bad, just different.

Now when I get refills from Amazon I always make sure to check the labels.

All these years… I thought Trix were for kids.
