Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dashi stock (optional, for added umami)
- 1 teaspoon Mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 1 cup Neutral oil (like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Directions
Step 1
Place the egg yolk, rice vinegar, dashi stock (if using), and mustard into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
While continuously whisking, slowly drizzle the neutral oil into the mixture. Start with just a few drops at a time to help emulsify the sauce, then steadily increase the flow once the mixture thickens.
Step 4
After all the oil has been incorporated, the mayonnaise should have a thick and creamy consistency.
Step 5
Whisk in the sugar, salt, and lemon juice. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the Japanese mayonnaise into a clean, airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
