Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent the mayonnaise from separating.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and well-combined.
Start adding the avocado oil very slowly, a few drops at a time, while whisking vigorously. Continue whisking and adding oil gradually, ensuring that it emulsifies properly.
Once about half the oil has been incorporated and the mixture has thickened, you can start adding the oil in a thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk.
When all the oil has been incorporated, stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and lemon juice for added umami and acidity.
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
