Ingredients- Firm tofu, about 70g (drained weight)
- 5 Tbsp Canola oil (or grapeseed oil) for a smooth texture
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar (adds tanginess and acts as a preservative)
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar (adjust to your taste)
- Pinch of salt (balances the flavors)
- Pinch of black pepper (enhances aroma)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the tofu under cold water and then thoroughly pat it dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving a good mayonnaise consistency.
Step 2
Place the drained tofu, canola oil (or grapeseed oil), vinegar, and sugar into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in texture. If you don’t have a blender, an immersion blender can also work well.
Step 3
Taste the tofu mayonnaise and add salt as needed to suit your preference. Finally, add a pinch of black pepper for an extra layer of flavor. Give it a final gentle stir to combine everything. Enjoy!
