Ponzu Sauce

Kind of like a citrusy, tart soy sauce, this mixture is commonly used in Japanese cooking as a marinade or a dipping sauce. But you can also mix it with mayonnaise for a great dressing or dip for crab and shrimp. Any sauce you don’t use can be covered and refrigerated.

Ingredients

  • 3⁄4 cups rice vinegar
  • 3⁄4 cups gluten-free tamari
  • 3⁄4 cup mirin rice wine
  • 1⁄4 cup homemade Dashi see below or store-bought dashi
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1⁄2 cup lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Combine the vinegar, tamari, mirin, and dashi in a nonreactive pot and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the lemon zest and juice, let cool to room temperature, then strain.
