Chinese mustard
Hot yellow paste
Chinese mustard is a pungent condiment made from brown or yellow mustard seeds, often served with Chinese and Asian cuisines.
Unlike milder prepared mustards, it delivers an intense, sinus-clearing heat similar to wasabi or horseradish.
The paste is typically made by mixing ground mustard powder with water, which activates the sharp flavor compounds.
The egg rolls came with packets of Chinese mustard and duck sauce.
