Cheesy Egg Salad Bao Buns with Homemade Mayo

Note: When making the homemade mayonnaise, please be aware that it contains raw eggs. We recommend using the eggs immediately after cracking, preparing small amounts at a time, and ensuring there’s enough vinegar or lemon juice to properly acidify the sauce. Store the mayo in the fridge and consume within a day. Always keep in mind the risks associated with consuming raw eggs. Adding a little vinegar when boiling eggs helps to prevent the eggs from cracking, and also makes it easier to peel them.
