Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon yuzu juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place the yolks in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the rice vinegar, yuzu juice, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, sugar, and salt to the bowl with the egg yolks.
Whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
While continuously whisking, begin adding the vegetable oil very slowly in a thin stream. Start with just a few drops at a time to create an emulsion.
Once the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify, you can gradually add the vegetable oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly to maintain the emulsion.
When all the vegetable oil has been incorporated, stir in the toasted sesame oil for a subtle nutty flavor.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with additional salt or a splash more yuzu juice if desired.
Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a small bowl or airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the mayonnaise as a dipping sauce or drizzle it over your favorite seafood dishes.
