Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon umami paste
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 0.75 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, water, and Dijon mustard until thoroughly combined.
Add the soy sauce, umami paste, and minced garlic, and whisk again to blend all the flavors.
Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.
While continuously whisking the egg yolk mixture, start adding the oils very slowly, drop by drop at first, allowing the mixture to emulsify.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, you can add the oil in a slow, steady stream. Continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated and the mayo is thick and creamy.
Season the mayo with salt, tasting and adjusting as needed.
Transfer the umami mayo to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
