Method

To make by hand, use a wire whisk to beat together the egg yolk, mustard, and ginger in a bowl. Combine the oils. Begin to add the oil, a little at a time, as you beat, adding more as each bit is incorporated. Once a thick emulsion forms—you’ll know it—you can add the oil a little faster. Depending on how fast you beat, the whole process will take 2 to 5 minute
