Notes
You will make a more authentic Japanese fried rice with Kewpie Mayonnaise. However, if you can’t find it in your area, you can use other kind of Mayonnaise too.
The taste might be a bit different but it is still amazingly delicious!
*This recipe is inspired by Marionskitchen and is created with my own twist.
I really love the flavours of the fried rice. Great idea with the bacon. I have never tried Japanese mayo before. What a brilliant idea to combine this with fried rice! Beautiful dish.
Yes, Japanese mayo is quite different from the other mayos I have tried. Really like it with this recipe.
