Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Dry mustard powder
- 3 tablespoons Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili oil (optional, for a spicy kick)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the dry mustard powder with the boiling water to form a smooth paste. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop fully.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar to the mustard paste. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili oil (if using). Mix well to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, vinegar for tanginess, or chili oil for heat, as desired.
Let the sauce rest for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the mustard sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container. Serve immediately as a dipping sauce, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
