Umami QP Mayonnaise

When Nguyen was developing her rendition of the cult condiment Kewpie, her husband saw how easy it was to make and dubbed it “quick prep” mayo, hence the homonym-acronym name “QP.” Use it in Nguyen’s Char Siu Tofu Bao Sliders or any dish that could use a swipe of mayo. The MSG gives it savory depth, but you can use 1 tsp. fish sauce or Marmite instead of the MSG or mushroom seasoning. The flavor will not be equal, but you’ll still get an umami boost.

*Raw egg is not recommended for infants, the elderly, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems…or people who don’t like raw eggs.
