Asparagus With Sesame Mayonnaise
INGREDIENTS
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 1/2 tablespoons each of rice vinegar
and soy sauce - 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup dark sesame oil
- 2 ½ cups corn oil
- Szechwan-style hot and spicy oil (optional)
- Grated fresh orange rind (optional)
In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or in a blender, process the whole egg, egg yolks, vinegar, soy sauce and mustard for 1 minute.
With the motor still running, dribble in the sesame oil and then the corn oil in a slow, steady stream.
Season with drops of the hot and spicy oil if you use it, and scrape the mayonnaise out into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Garnish with orange rind, if used, before serving.
Makes about 3 & 1/2 cups of sauce.
