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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili oil (if using). Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning, adding more soy sauce for saltiness, vinegar for tanginess, or chili oil for heat, as desired.
Step 5
Let the sauce rest for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
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.
