Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 1 cup Neutral-tasting oil (e.g., avocado or sunflower oil)
- 1 teaspoon White miso paste
- 2 teaspoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to help with emulsion.
Add the aquafaba, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt to a tall, narrow container suitable for an immersion blender.
Using the immersion blender, blend the ingredients on low speed until well combined and frothy.
With the immersion blender running, very slowly drizzle in the neutral oil while blending. Pour in a thin, steady stream to allow the mayo to emulsify properly. This process should take about 3–5 minutes.
Once all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and creamy, taste and adjust seasonings if needed (e.g., more salt or lemon juice).
Transfer the umami mayo to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to thicken further.
Store the mayo in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before each use as natural separation may occur.
