Homemade Kewpie Mayo

Step 1

Place your egg yolk into a medium sized bowl. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of your vegetable oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken (this is important so don't rush it). Once you’re confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.

Step 2

Once you have used up all of your oil, add in the rest of your ingredients. Give it a good whisk, taste and adjust the seasonings based on your preference. Then place it in a glass container, store it in the fridge for up to 4 days, and enjoy!
