How to Make Ma Ono's Chinese Style Mustard Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons mustard powder and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. Add 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger to the mustard mixture.
  3. Whisk vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for acidity, or soy sauce for saltiness.
  5. Let the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to allow the flavors to meld. The initial bitterness will mellow into a complex and delicious taste.
