Sawasdee ka! Welcome to our Japanese cuisine series from a small house in rural Thailand. Today we’re making “egg sandwich”!
Eggs are easy to find in Thailand, and recently we can find bread similar to Japan’s fluffy white bread too.

That Scene from Midnight Diner
Speaking of Midnight Diner, that egg sandwich episode was so memorable! The gentle flavor of the egg sandwich that Master makes, and the human emotions wrapped within it. Even here in rural Thailand, I was truly happy when I could recreate that taste.

Tips for Making Delicious Egg Sandwiches in Thailand
How to Boil Eggs
Since Thailand is hot, it’s important to cool boiled eggs thoroughly in ice water. This gives them that perfect bouncy texture!
Choosing Bread
Thai bread is slightly sweeter, so adding a bit more salt will bring it closer to the Japanese taste.
Storage Method
In hot Thailand, put it in the refrigerator immediately after making! But please eat it while it’s still fresh.
