Easy Homemade Japanese Mayonnaise

Japanese Mayonnaise differs from common mayonnaise found around the world in that it is characterized by a less acidic, creamier texture and a milder flavor. It has a wide range of uses and can be incorporated not only into salads, sandwiches, and sauces but also into main dishes and side dishes.

Equipment

  • a whisk, hand mixer, or blender

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 large egg yolk (about 1.75 oz/50 g, excluding the shell. Bring an egg to room temperature before using.)

  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ Tbsp rice vinegar (or mildly acidic vinegar)

Instructions
 

  • Put egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and mix them together.
  • Add 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) of oil to the mixture and blend thoroughly to emulsify.
  • Add another teaspoon of oil to the mixture and blend thoroughly. Repeat this process until you have incorporated half of the total amount of oil specified in the recipe.
  • Add salt and vinegar to the mixture and mix everything together.
  • Add another tablespoon (1 Tbsp) of oil to the mixture and blend thoroughly. Repeat this process until you have incorporated all of the oil specified in the recipe.

Notes

  • You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Unlike store-bought products, it doesn't contain preservatives, so it has a shorter shelf life.
