Homemade kewpie mayonnaise
Mayonnaise
The irresistible umami flavor of Kewpie mayo is due to a lot of M.S.G., and gums and fillers help with the perfectly creamy texture. A homemade version will never be exactly like one off the shelf, but just like Hellman’s has its roots in a humble homemade sauce, so does Kewpie. <br /> <br />I wanted to give you a recipe that won't require a trip to a specialty market or mail-ordering obscure ingredients. To concentrate the tang and umami in my recipe without thinning out the mayonnaise too much, I cook down the vinegar and dashi. It only takes a few minutes and makes all the difference between ordinary and fantastic mayo! You might instinctively reach for rice wine vinegar when making Japanese food, but cider vinegar gets you closer to the taste of Kewpie.
