Nowadays, many restaurants have begun to like to use seafood instead of stir-fry, especially shrimp. Shrimp meat does not need to be served hot, can be prepared in advance, and then eaten with mustard. When it comes to mustard, I think many people love and hate it. Eat a little, a straight to the nose of the smell of the face, some can't help it, but also tears, make it embarrassing. But the magic of mustard is that everyone is uncomfortable eating, but the more they eat, the more they want to eat.
Is mustard delicious? I'm afraid that the friends who eat for the first time will complain that it is difficult to eat. Mustard is comparable to a combination of chili pepper and garlic, spicy and nasal, how delicious. But in Japan, wasabi is the most favorite condiment used by housewives, so why? Could it be that the Japanese masses like this exciting and delicious feeling?
How mustard is made and why people who can eat it are all eager to taste it every time they eat it. Next, let's take a look at the story of mustard. Let your friends understand why mustard has become a favorite of many people. Friends who love to eat mustard also come to understand, but don't patronize and eat, you know the reason for it.
Mustard is divided into two categories, when buying, most of it is finished mustard, do not need to be scraped. Finished mustard is divided into yellow mustard, and green mustard. Don't think that yellow mustard sauce is made of green mustard, in fact, their sites are different. Yellow mustard has a long history in China, which means that in ancient times, the dignitaries also ate mustard.
Yellow mustard is a condiment that can be baked together in dishes to make food more flavorful. From a medical point of view, yellow mustard is also a good chinese medicine with therapeutic effects. The raw materials for yellow mustard are made with mustard greens.
Green mustard is also a condiment that can usually be seen in restaurants for sashimi and shrimp meat dipping, and the composition of green mustard is more complex, it is made of wasabi, and some will be added with horseradish and ground together inside. Green mustard is really addictive, compared to the spicy taste of chili peppers, the spicy taste of green mustard is a feeling of sourness to the extreme in the fragrance. People who eat it for the first time are expected to eat it with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, and then cry and say that it is too fragrant.
The focus of green wasabi is that the pungent taste is larger, more spicy, and there will be a very strong flavor, and green wasabi is an indispensable condiment when eating Japanese cuisine.
The finished mustard sauce added to the market is processed mustard, which is not really "mustard". Yellow mustard is only a condiment in China, and it is rarely eaten directly dipped in seafood. The green mustard is mainly used for seafood, and the good quality mustard is freshly ground.
In Japan, the more famous restaurants, when eating mustard, consumers will take the wasabi and slowly grind it. Freshly ground wasabi will have a strong aromatic flavor and will be slightly bitter, but in the aftertaste, you will find a little sweet feeling. For the mouth, the irritation is stronger, but it disappears in an instant, leaving an aroma.
The major brands of mustard on the market are not real mustard sauce. Because in these brands of mustard, a lot of preservatives are added, and there are other spices. The taste is not too spicy, and the aftertaste is not very aromatic, but there is a little bitterness that stretches in the mouth.
The real mustard sauce is made with fresh wasabi and ground with a professional knife. During the grinding process, no other substances are added to achieve a pure taste. After grinding, the mustard is eaten in about ten minutes to keep the inside taste the same. The real spicy and pungent taste of mustard comes from a special ingredient in wasabi that creates a sensation of irritation when it comes into contact with the mouth.
Mustard is generally used in seafood dips to fill the flavor and achieve a more intense feeling of seafood umami. However, in normal times, consumers can also directly use it to cold dishes, or eat it with fruit, which will have an unexpected chic taste. Mustard sauce is eaten raw, once cooked will reduce the spicy feeling, if you want to use baking food, pay attention to the use of yellow mustard, not green mustard.
Seeing the classification and production method of mustard, many enthusiasts are estimated to be confused, is it that the previous purchase and eating is "fake mustard"? In fact, from the taste point of view, the freshly ground mustard will be more pure, but the mustard sauce on the market can also maintain a certain taste, used for daily consumption, and has been able to meet everyone's needs for taste. If you must make fresh "green mustard", you can only buy wasabi and go home.
