Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Avocado oil
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Place the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
Begin slowly drizzling in the avocado oil, just a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking. Ensure the mixture emulsifies and stays thick before adding more oil. (This step is crucial for achieving the right mayo consistency.)
Once about half the oil is incorporated, you can start adding it a little more quickly, but continue to whisk constantly until all of the oil is fully combined and the mixture thickens into a creamy mayonnaise.
Add the wasabi paste to the mayonnaise and whisk until fully incorporated. Adjust to taste if you prefer a stronger wasabi kick by adding up to an additional teaspoon of wasabi paste.
If the mayo is too thick for your liking, whisk in 1 teaspoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the wasabi mayo to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
