EASY PONZU SAUCE

One of the best things about working in the yacht industry is the fruits of the sea. Wahoo, mahi-mahi and tuna are frequent visitors to my cleaning table. Nothing is finer that a nice tenderloin of wahoo and a sharp knife.

I like a citrus ponzu sauce for dipping sushi. This recipe is simple and beats store bought ponzu, hands down. It also makes a terrific marinate for steak.

INGREDIENTS:

½ c. soy sauce (low sodium)
¼ c. fresh squeezed orange juice
2 tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp. spring water
1 tbsp. mirin, a sweet Japanese rice wine
1 tbsp. red pepper flakes

PREPARATION:
Simply mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Be creative and make it you own signature dipping sauce by adding ginger or pureed mango. Enjoy. JW
