I tolerate Kewpie now, especially on Okonomiyaki and hard-boiled eggs.

it sounds like the name of a mayonnaise with a vaguely racist Youtube gaming channel

I do feel like hating mayo is the new bacon/pizza/whatever
I mean I hardly ever eat mayo but it's... fine?
British people: is there something working-class about salad cream or am I crazy?
maybe? I know mayonnaise seemed kind of fancy when I was a kid, maybe because of the French name. and we did used to use salad cream instead.

Kewpie is 100% racist, and I resisted buying it for that reason. But then again I am a Quaker and I eat the dumbass oats for breakfast every day, so I’ve got no leg to stand on.

Thinking a lot about becoming one of those guys who keeps a lil' squeeze bottle of homemade mayo in the fridge.

Update: Kewpie not racist, and not a Japanefied version of the golliwog stereotype. My wife is horrified/delighted I believed her.

To be clear: she didn’t spell any of that out. I took a tiny piece of information and mentally ran with it.

reading this gushing article about kewpie (ugh, gushing mayonnaise)https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/what-is-kewpie-mayo-japanese-mayonnaise* the vinegar in China was much sweeter and less acidic, so it makes sense that Japan would have similar vinegar and use it in mayo* American kewpie is MSG-free, so should be deposited in the rubbish with every other food product which has had its MSG removed. Not sure if I have tried American or Japanese kewpie.
― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 18 September 2020 19:06 (four years ago) link
yeah I can get both American made kewpie - at the regular supermarket - and Japanese kewpie at asian grocers and the latter is definitely superior.
I've yet to try polish mayo, is it good?
― rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Friday, 18 September 2020 19:30 (four years ago) link
the kewpie ingredient list I posted upthread (which listed MSG) was from me reading the label on the bottle I got from Amazon US

I looked at the wiki too and first saw "German" and "early 20th Century" and prepared to cringe, but was pleasantly surprised.

Winiary Majonez is THE ONE if you’re after Polish mayo, which is good because it is seasoned with Polish mustard.

just made a batch of gochujang mayo....feeling very powerful right now
(to make: follow a standard homemade mayo recipe but use seasoned rice vinegar + add a heaping tablespoon or so of gochujang)
― Simon H., Saturday, 19 September 2020 16:13 (four years ago) link
I bought some gochujang for the first time recently to make kimchi fried rice, I like it!
― Dan S, Wednesday, 23 September 2020 22:39 (four years ago) link
the key to mayonnaise in general is to whisk or blend the oil in very slowly, so that the egg and other ingredients and oil can emulsify
I've made sriracha mayonnaise before but gochujang has more complex flavors and as an ingredient sounds even better
― Dan S, Wednesday, 23 September 2020 23:42 (four years ago) link
it's extremely good, I will make it again with maybe 1.5x as much gochujang and a little more lemon to counter the sweetness of the rice vinegar
― Simon H., Wednesday, 23 September 2020 23:44 (four years ago) link
fwiw non-seasoned rice vinegar is not at all as sweet
― Dan S, Wednesday, 23 September 2020 23:51 (four years ago) link
it was all I had handy, and tbh it's a tasty addition, just a touch overpowering

I find gochujang a bit tricky to work with in general because it tends to be a bit stiff and sticky

― Dan S, Wednesday, September 23, 2020
Don't forget the final step to perfect mayonnaise: once the ingredients are nicely emulsified, rinse the resultant paste down the sink and never speak of it again.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:37 (three years ago) link
i've found turning it into a sauce makes it handy for many applicationsBibim Sauce: 1/4 cup gochujang 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons agave or maple syrup 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 2 tablespoons waterxp
