Wasabi Sabayon
1/2 cup (3 yolks) egg yolks, beaten
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 teaspoon prepared wasabi
1/3 teaspoon sambal or chili paste
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste, diluted
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup whipped cream
Salt and pepper to taste

In a double boiler over medium-high heat, combine egg yolks and rice vinegar; whisk until mixture thickens and then remove from heat.

In a food processor, blend together the soy sauce, lemon juice, wasabi, sambal or chili paste, ginger, curry paste, and mayonnaise. After the mixture is blended, slowly fold in the whipped cream to make a fluffy sabayon. Season with salt and pepper as needed or to taste.
