The other day, I bought some amount of mustard seeds for test cooking, and was wondering what to do with them. Then I remembered what the lady at the spice shop told me — "You can make mustard yourself!" So I gave it a try, and to my surprise, mustard is really easy to make. I thought it might need to ferment for a while, but actually, you just soak the mustard seeds in water for an hour, crush them to your preferred texture, mix in vinegar, sugar, and salt—and that’s it.

I was so happy with my homemade mustard that I bought some tofu sausages and enjoyed them with vegetables for lunch. It was... delicious ☺️

Knowing that you can make mustard with your ideal level of texture and flavor—just from mustard seeds—I'm planning to enjoy homemade mustard for a while.

Oh, and did you know that mustard seeds can also be used for sprouts? Actually, some of the seeds in my mustard already started sprouting! So I added some mustard seeds to the sprouts I started growing today.

If you're a mustard lover, why not try making your own mustard—or growing some mustard sprouts!


先日試作のために買ったマスタードのタネがたくさんあってどうしたものかと思い、スパイス屋さんのおねえさんが「自分でマスタード作れるよ」と言っていたのを思い出して作ってみたら、マスタードって簡単につくれるのですね。しばらく寝かせて発酵させたりするのかと思いきや、マスタードの種を水に浸して、好みの荒さに潰して、酢、砂糖、塩を混ぜてできあがり。

マスタードができたうれしさのあまり、豆腐ソーセージを買ってきてお昼に野菜と食べました。お・・・おいしい☺️

マスタードの種さえあれば、好みのプチプチ加減、味加減でマスタードを作れると知って、しばらく自作マスタードを楽しもうと思います。そうそう、マスタードの種はスプラウトとしても使えるよとのことで、確かに。実際マスタードの中の種の一部が発芽してる!今日作り始めたスプラウトにマスタードのタネをたしたのでした。

マスタード好きの人は自作マスタードにスプラウトに試してみてはいかがでしょうか!

I don't see it now but as a child we would buy small containers of sprouted mustard and cress for garnish and egg sandwiches. Nowadays the mustard has gone missing and its only cress. Mustard is the only spice that grows in England. English mustard is the strongest I think!

Same here, only cress. I didn't know there was mustered stouts in store. In Japan, radish sprout was popular and alfalfa came in in my childhood.

Now I want to try the strongest English mustered!!😁
