Zucchini Fried in Kewpie Mayonnaise
When I was in Japan, my friend Yoko told me about this recipe, which her mother used to make her. It sounded completely bizarre, but I had to try it! I'm glad I did. It creates a delicious crust and offers a rich, slightly sweet and tangy flavor.
Kewpie (Q.P.) is the most popular brand of Japanese mayonnaise, advertised with a Kewpie doll logo. It is made with egg yolks instead of whole eggs, and the vinegar is a blend of apple and malt vinegars.
