Chinese mustard begins with brown mustard seeds, just like many other mustards with a kick, including spicy brown and whole grain.
Since this is so easy you can make it fresh in small batches or feel free to make a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon mustard poweder (english or chinese)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
- 1½ teaspoon hot water
- ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon rice vinegar optional
DIRECTIONS
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a small bowl until evenly combined. Add water and stir well until a liquid paste forms and all dry ingredients are absorbed. Next, add oil and vinegar and stir well until evenly combined.
- Let your Chinese hot mustard rest for 10 minutes covered, and re-stir to ensure the dry ingredients have fully absorbed. At this point, taste your Chinese Hot Mustard and adjust it to your own preferences.
- Add a little more water or oil if you like a thinner in consistency. Add more vinegar if you like it a tad tart. Omit the vinegar altogether if you like it spicier, since vinegar makes your mustard a bit mellower in flavor. Add more white pepper and/or mustard powder if you like it spicier.
Like wasabi this has sinus-clearing properties. This is often served alongside orange duck sauce in chinese restaurants.
