This golden egg yolk sauce is similar to what's served in Japanese restaurants. It's slightly oily, firm in texture, and has a nice yellow color. Refrigerate in a squeeze bottle for convenient application.

Beat egg yolks and lemon juice in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon. Beat in vegetable oil, a few drops at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture begins to emulsify. When all oil has been incorporated, stir in miso, orange zest, pepper, and salt.
