Ingredients
1/4 cup dry mustard powder (English or Oriental)
4 tablespoons cold water (adjust for desired consistency)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Sift the mustard powder into a small bowl to ensure there are no lumps in your sauce.
Step 2: Gradually whisk in the cold water until a smooth, creamy paste forms.
Step 3: Allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to let the heat develop fully.
Step 4: Stir in the rice vinegar and vegetable oil until well combined and glossy.
Step 5: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For maximum heat, use ice-cold water. For a milder version, use lukewarm water. Always let the sauce rest for 15 minutes before serving to remove the initial bitterness.
