Nothing is added to Chinese mustard to make it hot. Rather additives
are used to tone mustard down for French's or Koop's. You can
duplicate Chinese (or English Pub Mustard) by mixing powdered mustard
with water and maybe a little oil. (Sub beer for the water in Pub
Mustard).

If the mustard is done properly, breathing in thru the mouth whilst
eating it mustard will slam your throat shut... which will give some
panic attacks from not being able to breathe temporarily.  <GGG>

ENJOY!!!
