Vegan Mayo

Category: Condiments/Dressings/Spreads

This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan diet

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients:

-----------------------------------------------------

1/2 cup of unsweetened, unflavoured organic soy milk

1 1/2 cups of safflower oil

2 tbsp of apple cider vinger

2 tbsp fine sugar (avoid using raw sugar or other larger sugar types as they will not disintegrate properly)

3/4 tsp of mustard powder

3/4 tsp of sea salt

pinch of cajun spice (optional or other spice; fresh chopped garlic also good alternative)

Instructions:

-----------------------------------------------------

Make sure the soy milk is chilled. I suspect this helps thicken the mixture even more. Add the milk to a blender or food processor and blend it well. It should be rather frothy. S-L-O-W-L-Y add the oil. This may take upwards of 10-15 minutes to do but it helps ensure that the oil is blended thoroughly with the milk.

Stop the blender/processor and carefully scrap the sides down. Add the vinager, sugar, mustard and sea salt. Blend all of those with the liquid.

At this point, the mayo is ready for serving. Store your mayo in a mason jar and mark when it was made. I suspect itll last (if not eaten too quickly) for about 7-10 days in the fridge.

Additional comments:

-----------------------------------------------------

If you want it to have a kick, make the last ingredient mixed in your spice of choice. You can also stir this in afterwards to make a creamy dip for things like chips, veggies, etc. This also makes a nice alternative to soy spread on things like toast and/or in sandwiches.

Would it be possible to freeze this? I never was into mayo anyway, but I've seen some recipes that call for it, so that's all I would use it for.

I know I could halve the recipe, but I probably wouldn't even want that much at once, and I hate for stuff to go bad.

Well, I guess that settles it. I've always wondered why soy lecithin wouldn't serve as an emulsifier for mayonnaise in place of egg yolk lecithin. I've scoured the Internet looking for an answer, but have never found one. So I guess it really would work. Have you ever actually measured the shelf life of the product, though? I really don't see why it should spoil in a week. Seems to me that it should easily last several weeks or even months. Regular mayo usually doesn't contain any preservatives other than EDTA, and it does just fine for that amount of time or even longer.

I just bought my first jar of Vegeneise and I gotta say, it hurt my wallet! This is looking like a great alternative. (You know, I SCOURED the web for vegan mayo recipes before and couldn't find anything that didn't call for fake eggs. Figures as soon as I shell out the cash for store-bought I find it here!)

Thanks for the recipe!

I just made this and its FANTASTIC! I AM SO EXCITED!!! Okay, I did a few things different though.

-I only had plain but sweetened soymilk, so I used that.

-I used canola oil.

-I used regular white vinegar.

-I added a pinch of paprika.

-I added a very small amount of cornstarch because I was nervous it wouldn't thicken up.

I think it took about 20 minutes of blending on high speed before it finally got thick, and it got surprisingly hot! I didn't know my blender was that powerful.


The end result was fantastic though, I think I like it better than Vegeneise (which I love!) and I like being able to adjust it to my tastes. Its very easy too, just takes a bit of patience.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS RECIPE!!!
