There's a special sort of satisfaction that comes from making your favorite sandwich just the way you like it. Arranging your preferred combination of bread, toppings, and spread makes for a tasty winning lunch combo that very rarely misses. Sometimes, however, we can go overboard with loading up our sandwiches and fall into a pretty messy eating experience with toppings and sauce spilling out all over the place.

Fortunately, Twitter user Chouchinankou (@lantern_utp) recently shared a simple method of sandwich prep that's being hailed as a game-changing "sandwich lifehack" in Japan for making a perfectly neat sandwich that prevents spillage without sparing any ingredients.

Chouchinankou shared photos explaining the method saying "I just noticed this but...if you wrap ham and lettuce like in the pictures when you make a sandwich, nothing spills out! This may be a commonly known thing but it was like a revolution when I discovered it on my own..."

Chouchinankou placed ham on the four sides of the bread, filled the center with egg salad and other spillable ingredients, and then folded the surrounding ham toward the middle. The result was a perfectly packed sandwich that looks a lot more compressed than it really is.

Clearly, the technique depends a bit on what ingredients you want to use in your sandwich, but the principle of using lunch meats or lettuce to fold in the toppings should remain the same. It also appears to work best with toasted bread as well.

Chouchinankou also demonstrated that sandwiches made using this method stay neatly intact when cut in half as well.

While many in the replies have said it's been a tried and true method for them for a while, the Tweet appears to have become a viral game-changer for others looking to solidify their sandwich-making skills, or perhaps recreate the volume and taste of Japan's delicious convenience store sandwiches while making them look so neatly prepared.

If your choice of bread and ingredients will allow it, the next time you want to make a stuffed sandwich with no spillage, give this method a try.
