What’s In A Taiwanese Breakfast Sandwich?
The classic Taiwanese Breakfast Sandwich has fresh cucumber, a thin layer of mayo, slices of ham, and a perfectly fried egg in between layers of milk bread! Many people also add pork floss as well (肉鬆) since it pairs well with the sweet mayo.

Key To Taiwanese Breakfast Sandwich: Japanese Mayo
Japanese Mayo is the key to making A Taiwanese Breakfast Sandwich. People often ask me, “What’s the main difference between western mayo and Japanese mayo?” Japanese mayo is a lot more “eggy” and has more of a custard-like texture since it is made with only egg yolks. It has a slight tang since it is made with rice vinegar. I highly recommend Kewpie Mayo: it is the ONLY Asian mayo that I swear by. You’ll be able to find it at most grocery markets in the Asian aisle.
