  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring spoons
  • Air-tight container

Method
 

  1. Measure 2 tablespoons of Chinese mustard powder into a small mixing bowl.
  2. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a smooth paste, adding up to 1 more tablespoon to reach desired consistency.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of white vinegar until fully combined.
  4. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and mix well to enhance the flavors.
  5. Optionally mix in 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Flavor intensifies the longer it rests.
