About Hot Chinese Mustard
- The mustard served in Chinese restaurants is closer to the consistent of a dipping sauce than a spreadable paste, so you'll need more liquid than for a basic mustard. Using water helps ensure that the mustard is hot and spicy. The components of mustard that create the pungency are alkaline, so adding vinegar or wine (which are acids) would mute the spiciness.http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/547080
