Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil or light olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Step 2
While continually whisking, slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the mixture in a very thin stream. This step is crucial to emulsify the mayonnaise; take your time to ensure the oil is fully incorporated before adding more.
Step 3
Continue to whisk and add oil until the mixture thickens into a creamy mayonnaise texture. If you’re using an immersion blender or a food processor, you can achieve the same result more quickly.
Step 4
Once the desired consistency is reached, taste the mayonnaise and season with black pepper and additional salt, if needed.
Step 5
Transfer to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Serve as a dip, spread, or dressing, and enjoy the bright, zesty flavors!
