How to Make Kewpie Mayonnaise

  1. Crack one large egg into the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Process until well combined and emulsified.
  3. With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of vegetable oil in a thin, steady stream. Process until fully incorporated and thickened.
  4. With the motor still running, add 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Process for another 15 seconds to ensure everything is well combined.
  5. Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before using. This will result in a creamier, richer texture.
  6. Enjoy your homemade Kewpie mayonnaise on sandwiches, salads, or as a dipping sauce!
