How to Make Sushi - Sushi Sauce Recipes - Ponzu Sauce RecipePonzu Sauce RecipePonzu is a blended soy sacue with citrus juice. They are bottled and sold in markets as well, but lack the fresh scent of citrus. When making ponzu sauce, it is important to keep the aromas of the citrus and make the tang mild. For certain citrus (or depending on the ripeness), it is important to peel the skin before sqeezing the juice, since the oils in the peels may add bitter flavor.Ingredients:Japanese Citrus (Yuzu, Sudachi, Kabosu) substitues: combination of lemon and grapefruitSoy Sauce Rice Vinegar Kombu (Kelp) Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) Place a piece of kelp (2 x 2 in) in a small pot with 3/4 cup of cold water and simmer.
