Ingredients (mustard sauce base)

Mustard “dough” / fermented mustard

  • Mustard powder: 1 kg
  • Water for mixing into dough: ~1.2 kg hot/warm water
    • Explained as “about 1.2 times the mustard powder” to achieve workability.
  • Water for soaking/steeping to leach bitterness: warm water
    • Enough to slightly submerge the mustard; later “plenty” to cover.
  • (Later note / example for ratio reasoning):
    • Mustard powder 1 kg + water 1 L (used for ratio logic)

Basic sauce (after soaking/fermentation)

  • Mustard powder base: conceptually 1 kg (or treated as “mustard = 1 kg”)
  • Vinegar: 2 L total, to make mustard:vinegar 1:1 after their conversion step
  • White sugar: 2 kg
  • Coarse salt: 200 g
    • Stated as 10% of the “dough,” where dough is treated as 2 kg

Core ratio rule (as stated)

  • Mustard : vinegar : sugar = 1 : 1 : 1 (basic rule)

Substitutions

  • None explicitly stated.

Equipment / preparation

  • Bowl
    • Home: small bowl
    • Commercial: large container/bowl
  • Plastic wrap (to cover and wrap during fermentation/steeping)
  • Warm container / warming facilities
    • Home suggestion: electric warming container
  • Tools:
    • Spoon, whisk, blender (optional if clumps don’t mix easily), sieve/strainer, rubber spatula
  • Food-grade straining action:
    • Rub the sauce through a sieve using a spatula/rubber spatula-like tool

Step-by-step method (key times, temperatures, cues)

1) Make mustard “dough”

  1. Mix mustard powder and water to form a slightly thick dough.
  2. Temperature of kneading water:
    • Hot water ~70°C, or
    • Warm water 60–70°C
  3. Kneading:
    • Knead thoroughly to form a slightly thick dough.
    • Hydration tip: if you add a little more water (~0.2× mustard powder amount), it becomes easier to knead.
  4. Technique cue:
    • Knead by breaking it up so it absorbs moisture evenly.
  5. Rest:
    • Rest 1–2 hours at 40–50°C (example target: 45°C).
  6. After rest:
    • Knead until firm (evenly), then rest again.
    • Wrap in plastic wrap and smooth the surface by flattening.
    • If the dough sticks during smoothing, moisten with water to smooth.

2) Fermentation for storage-ready mustard (commercial vs home approach)

  1. Prepare mustard in a container/bowl, covered and kept warm.
  2. Ferment/steep time: 1–2 hours
  3. Fermentation temperature range: usually 40–50°C
  4. Water temperature adjustment (example given):
    • In one example, water begins at 80–90°C because it cools over time—keep it warm at the start and steep 1–2 hours.
  5. Plastic wrap venting detail:
    • Don’t make it too flat—allow some air circulation.
    • Make a small hole in the center so heat expansion doesn’t flatten the wrap too much.

3) Leach out bitterness / remove astringency

  1. Remove plastic wrap after steeping (~1.5 hours mentioned once).
  2. If the surface looks dry:
    • Pour warm water over the mustard.
  3. Soak duration: 30 minutes to 1 hour
  4. Amount:
    • Enough warm water to slightly submerge; later described as plenty to cover.
  5. After soaking:
    • Drain all the water, then re-make sauce.

4) Prevent powder rising (drain carefully)

  • When draining, gently pour out mostly the water so powder doesn’t lift/rise too much.

5) Make the basic mustard sauce (mixing + thickening)

  1. Use the ratio rule:
    • Mustard : vinegar : sugar = 1 : 1 : 1
  2. Add vinegar/sugar/salt:
    • Vinegar added so mustard and vinegar match 1:1 (explained using their “2 kg total” concept)
    • Add 2 kg white sugar
    • Add 200 g coarse salt (10% of the treated “2 kg dough” amount)
  3. Mixing process (important technique sequence):
    • Stir until it goes from thin to thick.
    • Break down lumps:
      • Crush/break with a spoon if needed.
      • Once lumps loosen, use a whisk and stir vigorously for a long time until:
        • mustard powder granules dissolve
        • sauce becomes very thick and fully dissolved
  4. If clumps won’t mix well:
    • Pour into a blender and blend once to break them down more easily.
  5. Final dissolution and moisture absorption:
    • After it’s nearly dissolved, stir a bit more so remaining granules absorb moisture.
  6. Straining (to eliminate lumps completely):
    • Strain through a sieve.
    • Rub with a rubber spatula (described as straining very well).
    • For large batches, use a larger sieve.
    • At the end, scrape/sweep the bottom clean and do a final thorough stir with a whisk in the sieve.

6) Cooling / storage

  • Storage is described as flexible:
    • If weather is above 25°C, the subtitles imply you should consider timing/storage conditions.
  • Suggested storage conditions:
    • Store in a cool, shaded place without necessarily refrigerating.
    • If stored at 15–25°C, it prevents mustard spiciness from disappearing and helps it mature further (more delicious).
  • Storage method:
    • Store in an airtight container with a lid.

Chef tips & common issues (as stated)

  • Water temperature matters early: start steeping water hotter (80–90°C example) because it cools during the wait.
  • Hydration adjustment: increase water slightly (about +0.2× mustard powder) for easier kneading.
  • Smooth surface trick: moisten hands/tools with water to prevent sticking while smoothing.
  • Vent plastic wrap: small central hole + don’t flatten too much to manage heat expansion.
  • Mixing requirement: stir long enough—thickness and full dissolution depend on vigorous stirring.
  • Lump problem fix: use blender once if clumps are hard to dissolve by hand.
  • Strain thoroughly: rubbing with rubber spatula and sweeping the sieve bottom helps remove remaining granules.

Serving / usage notes

  • The resulting mustard sauce is described as a basic sauce for vegetable dishes made with mustard sauce.
  • Intended use: commonly made at home and used for myeongchae (summer-style vegetable dish).
