雞蛋和芥末提前放至室溫。Bring the egg and mustard to room temperature in advance.
攪拌機中先把雞蛋和芥末攪拌均勻,再緩慢逐次加入少量橄欖油,攪拌,至蛋黃醬成型。 Mix egg and mustard with a stick blender (or mixer) and add the oil slowly in a thin stream. The mayonnaise should set promptly. Continue to mix until all the oil has been added and the mayonnaise has thickened.
加入醋/檸檬汁,攪拌。加鹽和胡椒粉調味。也可按需添加醋/檸檬汁。 Add vinegar/lemon juice. Mix some more and season with salt and pepper and perhaps more vinegar or lemon juice.
使用前將蛋黃醬入冰箱稍稍放置。使香味更濃,蛋黃醬更濃綢。 Let the mayonnaise rest in the fridge for a while before serving. The flavor develops further after a-while and the mayonnaise thickens further.
貼士︰如伴海鮮使用請選擇檸檬汁或白葡萄酒醋;如伴烤牛肉或其他冷盤,請選擇紅葡萄酒醋,但不要用香醋,因為它通常是加糖以及調色的,用這種醋會改變蛋黃醬的顏色。 TIP! Use lemon juice or white wine vinegar if you’re going to serve the mayonnaise with seafood. Use red-wine vinegar for roast beef and other cold cuts, but not balsamic vinegar. It’s commonly sweetened and colored and will discolor the mayonnaise.
另外,只要一個蛋黃就可以與約1升橄欖油混合制作蛋黃醬。所以如果你想制作更多蛋黃醬,只要多加一些油和芥末,香料和酸即可。 Extra! As a child I was taught by my grandmother that one egg yolk can bind as much as a whole quart (liter) of oil. In other words: if you want to make a bigger batch, just increase the amount of oil to 2, 3 or more cups. But don’t forget to increase the amount of mustard, spices and acid.
