Ingredients

• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 clove garlic, minced extra finely
• 3 small chilli padi (or 1/2 tablespoon Wasabi; or 2 jalapeños (depending on size)), chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Combine egg yolk, minced garlic, chopped chilli padi (no need to take out the pith or seeds), lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, Tabasco sauce, ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Whisk until blended and bright yellow, which should take about 40 seconds.

Using ¼ teaspoon measure and continually whisking, add ¼ cup olive oil to yolk mixture a few drops at a time, over a period of about 4 minutes.

Gradually add the remaining ½ cup of oil in a very slow, thin stream, whisking continually, until mayonnaise is thick.

This process should take about 8 minutes.

Cover and chill.
