Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 cup Avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent the mayonnaise from separating.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and well-combined.
Step 3
Start adding the avocado oil very slowly, a few drops at a time, while whisking vigorously. Continue whisking and adding oil gradually, ensuring that it emulsifies properly.
Step 4
Once about half the oil has been incorporated and the mixture has thickened, you can start adding the oil in a thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk.
Step 5
When all the oil has been incorporated, stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and lemon juice for added umami and acidity.
Step 6
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or lemon juice as desired.
Step 7
Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
