Equipment

  • 1 Small bowl
  • 1 Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp powdered mustard - note: use dry mustard for the best flavor
  • 2 tbsp hot water - note: boiling water works best
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari sauce - note: for a gluten-free option, use tamari
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds - toasted (note: toasting adds nutty flavor)
  • 1 garlic clove - note: minced for easier blending

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, blend the powdered mustard and hot water together to form a paste.
  • Pour the mustard paste into a blender container.
  • Add soy sauce or tamari, toasted sesame seeds, and minced garlic to the blender.
  • Process the mixture for about 1 minute or until it is smooth.
  • Serve immediately as a dipping sauce or store in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

For a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables.
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, make sure to use gluten-free tamari sauce instead of regular soy sauce.
