Ponzu Sauce Ingredients

• Soy Sauce
• Rice Vinegar
• Kombu (Kelp)

Kombu is a kind of kelp that is sold dried. Use a damp cloth to lightly was any grit off of the kelp and using a pair of sharp scissors cut off a square piece about two inches by two inches.
Add 2/3 cup of cold water to a small pot.
Place the kombu in the water and bring to a simmer. After about 20 seconds remove the kelp and discard it.
Add 3 tablespoons of Mirin (sweet rice wine) to the broth. Continue to let simmer.
Peel your lemon before squeezing it. This prevents the bitterness from the oil being added to your sauce.
Mix 1/3 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice with a cup of soya sauce, three tablespoons of the kombu broth and one tablespoon of rice vinegar. Store in container in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavours meld. Enjoy!
