Laksa Mayonnaise
Laksa Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk, large
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon laksa paste
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil, or other neutral oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and fresh lime juice until well combined and slightly pale. This forms the base of your mayonnaise.

Add the laksa paste to the egg yolk mixture and whisk thoroughly until it is fully incorporated. Ensure there are no lumps of paste remaining.

Begin to slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, while continuously whisking vigorously. This is the most crucial step for emulsification. If you add the oil too quickly, the mayonnaise may break.

Once about 1/4 cup of oil has been incorporated and the mixture starts to thicken, you can increase the oil stream to a thin, steady drizzle, still whisking constantly, until all the oil is added and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.

Stir in the salt and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or a tiny squeeze of lime juice if desired. Transfer the Laksa Mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
