Homemade Chinese Hot Mustard

You'll never go back to the packets after you try this authentic Chinese hot mustard! Only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make!

Serve it with eggrolls, fried wontons, crab rangoons, cream cheese wontons, spring rolls, crispy wontons and more!

Ingredients 2 TBS brown mustard powder 2 TBS ice water ½ tsp. rice vinegar

Make sure you use a Chinese mustard powder or Colman's English mustard powder. These powders include HOT brown mustard seeds.

Add mustard powder

Add hot brown mustard powder to a small bowl.

Add ice cold water

Add ice cold water to the mustard powder. The water temperature matters! Cold water activates the heat enzymes in the mustard powder.

Mix together

Stir well to form a paste of the water and mustard powder.

Flavor with vinegar

Add ½ teaspoon of unseasoned rice vinegar or rice wine vinegar. Stir well.

Spice it up

If necessary add more water to thin the hot mustard to your preferred consistency. Let sit, covered, for 15 minutes before serving.

For best results, make a small batch and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The mustard may lose some of its heat and potency as it ages.

Too hot for you?

Adding more vinegar will mellow out the flavor of hot mustard. Click below for more tips on making Chinese mustard spicier or milder.
