Served with egg rolls and dim sum at Chinese restaurants, hot mustard sauce is made by grinding mustard seeds, mixing them with water, and letting them rest for a few minutes. Its sharp, nose-tingling heat balances rich fried foods.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the Mustard Seeds

20 min

Mix the mustard seeds with cold water and let them soak for 20 minutes.

2

Grind

5 min

Blend the soaked seeds into a smooth paste.

3

Rest

10 min

Let the paste rest at room temperature for 10 more minutes so its sharp heat can develop.

4

Season

3 min

Stir in the vinegar and salt until ready to serve.

Reminder

Do not use hot water when making the sauce; the heat can dull the mustard’s sharpness.

Sosu hazırlar hazırlamaz servis ettim, acılığı çok hafif kalmıştı; 10 dakikalık dinlendirmeyi atladığım için keskinliği tam açığa çıkmamış, bir dahaki sefere en az yarım saat bekleteceğim.
