Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil or light olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
While continually whisking, slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the mixture in a very thin stream. This step is crucial to emulsify the mayonnaise; take your time to ensure the oil is fully incorporated before adding more.
Continue to whisk and add oil until the mixture thickens into a creamy mayonnaise texture. If you’re using an immersion blender or a food processor, you can achieve the same result more quickly.
Once the desired consistency is reached, taste the mayonnaise and season with black pepper and additional salt, if needed.
Transfer to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a dip, spread, or dressing, and enjoy the bright, zesty flavors!
