What is Hot Mustard?
Hot mustard is a type of condiment made from the dried seeds of brown or yellow mustard plants (Brassica juncea), which are ground and mixed with water, vinegar, lemon juice, wine, or other liquids. The seeds are ground into a paste that has a coarse texture. The resulting condiment can be used as a dip for meats or vegetables, as an ingredient in salad dressings, or as a spread on sandwiches.
There are many types of hot mustards available in the marketplace today. These mustards contain various ingredients that make each of them unique. Some mustards are spicy, while others are sour, sweet, and fruity. The ingredients that give these mustards their flavor include mustard seeds, vinegar, salt, sugar, onion powder or flakes, garlic powder or flakes, turmeric powder, chili peppers (cayenne pepper), and cumin. Some hot mustards contain other spices and flavors such as paprika and horseradish.

What is Shichimi Togarashi? Shichimi Togarashi is a Japanese chili powder made from seven spices: red chili peppers (the most common type), sesame seeds, orange peel, seaweed (nori), ginger root, hemp seed (hemp hearts), and perilla (shiso).

The word “mustard” is a must in the world of condiments. This is because “mustard” is a must in the world of condiments.
In reality, there are actually two kinds of mustard — one that uses the word “mustard” and one that does not. Mustard made with mustard (the word) is usually called “old style.” Mustard made without mustard (the word) is usually called “new style.”
Mustard made without mustard (the word) can be found in many different forms, including:
* Mustards made from dried flowers
* Mustards made from non-dried flowers
* Mustards made from grains
* Mustards made from seeds
* Mustards made from seasonal vegetables
Mustards are often mixed with other ingredients, such as spices, herbs and fruits.
Mixed chili peppers and other spices.
1) Chili pepper (Capsicum annuum)
2) Roasted orange peel (Citrus sinensis var. austera, Citrus aurantium var. amara, Citrus aurantium sinensis, Citrus aurantium amara)
3) Roasted citrus peel (Citrus unshiu, Citrus nobilis, Citrus medica var. sarcodactylus, Citrus limonia osbeck, Citrus limetta)
4) Japanese pepper (Zanthoxylum piperitum DC.)
5) Black sesame seed or hemp seed (Cannabis sativa L.)
6) White sesame seed (Sesamun indicum L.)
7) Nori seaweed or aonori (Porphyra yezoensis var. tenera Kjellman; Porphyra tenera Kjellman; Porphyra yezoensis Kjellman; Pyropia yezoensis; Nemacystus decipiens Kjellman.)
It’s a combination of dried red chili pepper, ground sansho (a type of Japanese pepper), roasted orange peel, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, hemp seeds, ground ginger and nori (seaweed). It is used as a condiment for noodles and other Japanese foods.
The combination of ingredients is almost always the same with the only variations being the amount or ratios of each ingredient. While it is not actually a very spicy mix, it does have a noticeable heat from the chili peppers.
It’s often mistakenly thought that shichimi means seven flavors in Japanese which would be “shichi” but this is not the case. While shichimi actually means seven tastes, only six flavors can be identified in the recipe. The seventh taste is considered to be “umami” – the savory taste that occurs when you put all these ingredients together.
Sichimi togarashi, or Japanese seven spice, is a common condiment in Japan and can be found on almost every restaurant table. It consists of a mixture of seven ingredients which are coarsely ground together, usually in equal amounts.
Japanese seven spice is traditionally made up of:
– red chili pepper (the main ingredient)
– dried mandarin orange peel (to balance the heat)
– white sesame seeds (for texture)
– black sesame seeds (for texture and color)
– ground ginger root
– nori seaweed powder
– poppy seeds
Some variations will include other ingredients like yuzu peel, sansho pepper, hemp seeds, shiso leaves, nori flakes and more. Some restaurants also make their own unique blends.
