Basic Tofu Mayonnaise

Basic Tofu Mayonnaise
The texture of tofu mayo is very similar to egg mayonnaise, that's what the appeal is to me, but the flavour comes pretty close too 🙂
Prepared by:
Cuisine: vegan
Recipe type: sauce
Prep time: 
Total time: 
You need
  • ½ cup of organic silken tofu
  • ½ tsp of vegetable stock powder
  • ½ tsp of mustard
  • 1.5 tbsp rice bran oil
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
To do
  1. mix everything but the oil in the small bowl of your food processor
  2. then, with the machine running, slowly pour in the oil and blend till nice and homogenous.
Notes
Since all tofu's seem to have a different moisture contents, you may have to tweak the amount of oil.
