- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon kewpie mayo
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Hard boil your eggs. Let them cool completely before peeling. You can soak in cold water to accelerate the cooling process
In a medium bowl, grate or mash the peeled boiled eggs. You want the mash to be fine without many chunks. Add the kewpie mayo, salt, and sugar. Mix until well integrated
When assembling the musubi, start with nori then add a layer of rice. Next add a layer of the egg then tenkasu then another layer of rice. Push it through the mold and wrap it up.
