Egg yolk powder substitute

I'm planning on making Mayo No 4 but I don't have access to egg yolk powder. I know the purpose to to act as an emulsifier and add some yolky flavour, can I use fresh yolks instead and some more Liquid soy lecithin or something else to act as an emulsifier?

I'll try with egg yolk cooked in microwave.

Ok, could you elaborate a little bit? How long would one cook them for?

There are different system..this is the fancy one. Freeze the egg yolk for 2 days and then thav it you'll end up with a gummy texture(already very interesting to experimenting with Put the egg on a glass bowl and cover it with cling film,sting the plastic and put in the micro on medium power and cook for 2min + 2+2 .

Have fun.

You can omit the powdered yolk easily enough. You can also take a fresh yolk and microwave it on low power for a few minutes to dry it. Then just blend in the dried yolk.
