Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large fresh pasteurized whole egg (or just the yolk)
- 1 cup neutral oil (light olive oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, or sunflower oil)
- 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (or white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, but recommended)
- Salt (to taste)
- A tiny pinch of granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients (egg, oil, Sriracha, lemon juice, mustard) are at room temperature.
- Combine in a Jar: Crack your room temperature egg into the bottom of a wide-mouth jar. Add the lemon juice (or vinegar), Dijon mustard (if using), your desired amount of Sriracha, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the Oil: Carefully pour the neutral oil directly on top of the other ingredients in the jar. Don't stir!
- Blend to Emulsify: Insert your immersion blender into the jar, pushing it all the way down to the bottom. Turn the blender on high and keep it still at the bottom for about 15-20 seconds.
- Slowly Lift: Once a good portion of the mayonnaise has formed at the bottom, slowly lift the immersion blender upwards through the oil layer, continuing to blend.
- Taste and Adjust: Remove the immersion blender. Taste your Sriracha mayonnaise and adjust with more Sriracha, salt, or lemon juice as needed.
