Authentic Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe: The Perfect Blend of Richness and Smoothness
Discover the rich, nutty flavor of fresh egg yolks combined with the velvety texture of brown rice oil in this homemade mayonnaise recipe. A touch of lemon juice adds a delightful tang, balancing the richness and making it an irresistible dip for fresh vegetables. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, and more!
Main Ingredients
- 2 fresh egg yolks
- 7 Tbsp brown rice oil
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 2/3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 tsp salt
- Assorted fresh vegetables (for serving, as desired)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by separating 2 fresh egg yolks into a clean bowl. Add 1 Tbsp of vinegar, 2/3 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice, 1/2 Tbsp of sugar, and 1/3 tsp of salt. Using an immersion blender (or a whisk), blend all these ingredients together until they are smoothly combined. Continue blending until the yolks are broken down and the mixture turns a pale ivory color.
Step 2
This is the crucial emulsification step. You’ll use 7 Tbsp of brown rice oil. The key is to add the oil gradually, in 4 to 5 additions, rather than all at once. Keep the immersion blender running and slowly drizzle in the oil in a thin stream. Continue blending until the mixture thickens and becomes a smooth, creamy mayonnaise. If it becomes too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a tiny bit more vinegar or lemon juice.
Step 3
And there you have it – delicious homemade mayonnaise, rich and wonderfully smooth! Store the finished mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for about 1-2 weeks. It’s fantastic served with fresh vegetable sticks for dipping, as a spread in sandwiches, or as a base for various salad dressings and sauces. Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise in all your culinary creations!
