Homemade Mayonnaise for Banh Mi

By stancec44

Ingredients

• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 cup oil (canola or corn)
• pinch of kosher salt
• 1 ts fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove finely minced garlic (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl whisk egg yolk, salt, and lemon juice with about 2 tbs of oil (we also added some finely minced garlic). Whisk until ingredients are well emusifield. At this point, slowly drizzle remaining oil and continue to whisk until mixture becomes creamy. Alternatively, you can place all the ingrediants in a blender and slowly drizzle in the oil while blending until creamy. Make final adjustment with salt if necessary.
For a different twist and other uses besides banh mi, you can add seasonings such as garlic, mustard, Sriracha, chipotle, roasted red peppers, Creole seasoning, ginger, sesame oil…the flavors are endless.
