Living in Taiwan for a few years has taught me how to make foods I am familiar with back home but with limited resources and on a budget. If you have access to a COSTCO, than your options broaden, but for the most part, we eat simply and this recipe is a part of a collection for the American teachers living in Taiwan with a simple stove, toaster oven and small grocery store in town.
Mayonnaise is something that I am picky with and will take the trip to COSTCO just to get name brand stuff, but I did find a selection of mayo in the local grocery store (usually in small bags) that would work just fine for this. If that's what you decide to use, just start with a small about and slowly add to your liking.
