hot mustard

Fiery yellow condiment

Hot mustard is mustard prepared to maximize its sharp, pungent bite—the sinus-clearing heat that comes from mustard seeds rather than chili peppers.

Chinese restaurants typically serve it as a condiment: I like to mix the hot mustard with soy sauce for my egg rolls.

The heat fades quickly compared to chili-based sauces.
