Japanese Potato Salad Instructions for Mayo, Ham and Eggs

Question

While the ingredient list includes mayonnaise, ham, eggs, sugar, and scallions, the procedure does not describe what to do with these ingredients. I suppose one could reasonable infer that they are to be mixed in, but it should be specified, especially when the intro sugests that some of them may not be necessary if genuine Kewpie mayo is used.

Hi Howard - The instructions for what to do with the mayonnaise, ham, egg, sugar and scallions can be found halfway through Step 3 of the recipe. See below:
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a fine mesh strainer, rinse well and drain. Working in batches, use your hands to squeeze the vegetables, removing as much liquid as possible, then add to the potatoes. Add the mayonnaise, ham, whole egg and yolk and the sugar. Fold until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with scallions. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Hope this helps! Best, Lynn C.
