Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup citrus juice (a mixture of lemon, orange, and/or grapefruit juices)
- zest from one lemon
- 2 Tbsp mirin (or substitute 2 tsp sugar + 2 Tbsp sake or water)
- ½ cup katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) (packed; for vegan/vegetarian, omit or substitute 1–2 dried shiitake mushrooms)
- 1 piece kombu (dried kelp) (2 x 3 inches, 5 x 7.6 cm, 6 g per piece)
Instructions
To Serve
- Ponzu is one of the classic dipping sauces for Shabu Shabu hot pot. You can also use ponzu to make refreshing sauces for dishes like Tuna Tataki, Pork Spring Rolls, Pan-Fried Eggplant, or Grilled Oysters. It‘s delicious on salads as well, like my Tofu Salad with Sesame Ponzu Dressing.
To Store
- You can keep the homemade ponzu in the mason jar for up to 1 month (to be safe); however, if you substitute the mirin with water and sugar, please use it within a week. When you use the ponzu, make sure to use clean utensils to avoid cross-contamination. The sauce will keep 6 to 12 months if you sanitize and keep everything clean while making the ponzu.
