Mayonnaise

Posted by Juanito at 09:00

Japanese mayo sucks. Or at least, I don't like it so much. Its okay, but pretty heavy handed on the mustard and vinegar. This created a problem as I can't find Hellman's here. So yesterday at the 100yen shop I armed myself with a squidgy bottle and resolved to make my own mayo. (To truly understand that piece of equipment you need to be an avid Good Eats fan (but if you type good eats mayo clinic into you tube you'll get the idea)).


And today, mayonnaise was made. It was odd starting off, as making mayonnaise is a somewhat frightening prospect, and I was kinda scared - about cooking.... odd. But after a long while and some laborious whisking I did actually succeed. It even tasted okay after a few alterations. Beats Japanese mayo anyway. I think I will try it again though with a few ingredient changes in order to obtain a more subtle flavour. For one thing the vinegar I used was a little harsh, so it's all citrus next time. 

I shall leave you with a picture of my labours (like a proud father or something).
