Do you think the green mustard sauce with sashimi is real mustard? No, mustard is yellow powder ground from mustard seeds. The famous green wasabi actually refers to wasabi. Do you think you ate mustard? Wrong again. The root of wasabi is very expensive, and what sushi shops get for free is actually a fake product made of wasabi. I like sashimi very much, to be exact, I like the green mustard sauce with sashimi-the feeling of rushing through my nose and making people deeply immersed in Japanese food. But once I went to a sushi restaurant and was about to have a big meal, I suddenly found that the word "mustard sauce" was not printed on the sauce bag, but "mustard sauce". I squeezed out and tasted it. The color and taste are the same as the original mustard sauce. Why? What is mustard? What does it have to do with mustard?

Yellow mustard is real mustard.

I used to think foolishly and naively that mustard was made from a plant called mustard, just like Chili sauce. But I was wrong (my botany teacher, I am sorry for you). In fact, mustard is a powdery seasoning made by grinding the seeds of mature mustard (Brassica juncea) of Brassicaceae, which is generally yellow. It's the yellow paste with 3 yuan hot dogs sold by IKEA.

Green mustard is actually mustard. Now let's look at the mustard that puzzles me. Wasabi, haha, do you see anything from its Latin name? Yes, the green mustard in Japanese cuisine with sushi and sashimi is actually mustard sauce. Wasabi is a fine mud ground from the root of wasabi, which is not the same thing as mustard ground from mustard seeds, but has similar smell and taste. Wasabi belongs to the genus Wasabi in Cruciferae and is a close relative of Brassica mustard.

Mustard also has a cottage.

Knowing that this mustard sauce is not mustard sauce, I will tell you an unfortunate news: real horseradish is very expensive, and no sushi restaurant can give you two packs of free food and drink at will, so the sense of self-abuse you experience actually comes from another cruciferous plant-horseradish. Horseradish originated in Southeast Europe and West Asia, and is often used as a seasoning for roast beef and other dishes in European countries. Because it tastes similar to horseradish, it has become a material to imitate horseradish sauce. But it belongs neither to Brassica nor to horseradish, but to horseradish. You're right. It's horseradish.
