"Use unpeeled English or Japanese cucumber. They had only 1 egg, but the salad I saw looked more yellow and they called it Korean egg salad. So you do the amount of eggs you want. I like a lot of eggs in mine."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Salt the cucumber: Thinly slice the cucumber and place it in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 2
Cook the potatoes: Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain well and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Squeeze the cucumber: Squeeze the salted cucumbers with paper towels to remove moisture.
Step 4
Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the Kewpie mayonnaise and rice vinegar.
Step 5
Mash and combine: While the potatoes are still warm, mash them with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the potatoes and carrots to the dressing and combine. Season to taste.
Step 6
Fold in ingredients: Fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs, squeezed cucumber, and onion.
Step 7
Chill and serve: Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly ground black pepper
