What is ponzu sauce?
Tangy and savoury, ponzu is a classic and versatile Japanese condiment with a complex and dynamic taste.
Typically made from:
- soy sauce,
- citrus juice (commonly yuzu, though other citruses like lemon and lime are often used),
- vinegar,
- mirin (a sweet rice wine),
- and sometimes dashi (a Japanese stock),
Ponzu sauce has the perfect balance of salty, sweet, sour, and umami notes.
A fantastic flavour enhancer, use it for marinating chicken, tofu or salmon, or to glaze vegetables. Ponzu is also fantastic added to stir fries, noodle salads or even ceviche.
