Ponzu sauce is a citrus-based sauce commonly used in Japanese cuisine. The word ponzu originated from the Old Dutch word ‘pons’, as in ‘fruit punch’. But instead of a beverage, it’s a sour sauce made by simmering mirin, rice vinegar, dried fermented tuna flakes and seaweed; then cooled and mixed with either juice from lemon, yuzu, sudachi, daidai or kabosu (Japanese lime and small orange or grapefruit variants). Ponzu is a versatile condiment that can be used as a marinade, dressing, or dipping sauce.
