自製蛋黃美奶滋 Homemade Mayonnaise

Recipe & Video from ROUXBE


Homemade Mayonnaise
1 egg yolk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 juiced lemon
1 pinch Kosher salt
1 pinch white pepper



Making Mayonnaise:

To make the mayonnaise, mix together the egg yolk and Dijon mustard. Then very slowly add in the oil, while constantly whisking.

Next squeeze in a tiny bit of fresh lemon juice while continuing to whisk. Add a pinch of salt and white pepper and mix together.

Once ready refrigerate until ready to use. Homemade mayonnaise is fantastic with pommes frites, calamari or crab cakes, just to name a few.

Notes:
The key to making great mayonnaise is to add the oil slowly, while whisking constantly. It's best to make only as much as you'll use, but if you need more you can always double the ingredients. Make sure to keep the mayonnaise cold at all times and store in the refrigerator for only a day or two.

Egg Safety: The risk of contracting a food-borne illness or salmonella from raw eggs is quite low. However, if you are concerned about this risk, a safer alternative is to purchase pasteurized eggs.
