Chinese Mustard

Store reconstituted paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Dry powder can be stored at room temperature for a very long time.

To make Chinese mustard paste from powder, mix 1 part powder with 1-2 parts cold water until a smooth paste forms. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to develop its full flavor.

Start with less water and add more as needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Use it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, dumplings, or potstickers.

Add a small amount to marinades for a spicy kick.
