Notes
VARIATION TIP: This is not just a good side dish; it’s also an incredible sandwich filling. Try it between slices of good bread for a tasty lunch. I usually omit the ham (or Canadian bacon) if I’m using it as a side dish (banchan) but I include it if I’m using it as a sandwich filling.
INGREDIENT TIP: If you can’t find Kewpie mayonnaise, then Miracle Whip is a good substitute. You can also use American mayonnaise if that’s what you have on hand.
