Japanese mayo is richer since it only uses the egg yolks where American includes the whites

@munchies the thumbnail of this video and other similar videos makes me think that I've already seen it because of the red line at the bottom of the thumbnail, something you might want to fix.

Yall are trippin that this aint a quick and easy recipe, even doing it fully from scratch, its toasting some spices, then sautéing things together, once the curry is done the rice is super quick too. Its like a 30 min cook time
