This Creamy Mustard Sauce is a versatile and flavor-packed condiment perfect for giving an instant lift to any dish!

There is just something about that final pop of flavor that elevates the ordinary into something extraordinary.
From the first drizzle over a perfectly griddled chicken breast to the enthusiastic responses on hibachi night, this mustard cream sauce has never let me down. (I’ve even used it as a marinade!)
Quick, easy, and delicious, it is sure to become a new favorite!
Simple Ingredients
- Mayonnaise - Essential for adding a creamy texture. Greek yogurt can be a wholesome substitution.
- Heavy Cream - Adds richness; full-fat coconut milk can be a dairy-free alternative, but it will change the flavor.
- Soy Sauce - Gives depth with its umami flavor; for a gluten-free option, tamari is perfect.
- Toasted Sesame Oil - Imparts a nutty aroma and taste; it is difficult to substitute due to its unique flavor.
- Dry Mustard - Freshly ground mustard seeds provide an extra punch of flavor, but I typically use powdered dried mustard. Prepared yellow mustard, dijon mustard, or spicy brown mustard are possible alternatives if dry is unavailable.
- Brown Sugar - Feel free to use honey or maple syrup if you prefer.
- Worcestershire Sauce - Adds complexity; if you don’t have it you can leave it off.
Tips and Tricks
- Taste and Adjust: After refrigerating the mustard sauce, give it a taste and adjust the ingredients to your liking. Some may prefer it a bit tangier, in which case, a little extra Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice or vinegar can do the trick. More dried mustard can be added if you want a hot mustard sauce.
- Spice It Up: Speaking of hot mustard, adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can elevate the sauce with a spicy kick. Garlic is another great addition.
- Fresh Herbs: To add a fresh dimension to the sauce, consider stirring in finely chopped herbs like dill, parsley, tarragon, or chervil.
- Make It Smoky: Give the sauce a smoky twist by including a teaspoon of smoked paprika. This adds a new depth of flavor, perfect for barbecued meats and pork.
