Recipe: Homemade Mayonnaise
In some dishes I use mayonnaise instead of cooking oil to fry meat. Yet, each commercially available mayonnaise in the market tastes slightly different from each other. Having tried Regency’s fisherman’s seafood spices, I’ve decided to add it to homemade mayonnaise for a hint of lemony herbs. If you want spicy mayonnaise then you can replace the herbs with cayenne pepper (Adjust the amount to your liking). If you don’t want garlic flavor, you can omit it
Tips: (1) To avoid the mixture separate into liquid and oil, keep whisking vigorously at steps 3 and 4. The mixture tends to separate in the beginning. (2) At step 3, try to add the oil gradually. Do not pour everything at once. (3) If the mayonnaise separates, add 1 tablespoon boiled water and whisk vigorously. (4) Adding fresh herbs such as mint would also work well.
