How to Make Homemade Ponzu Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred), 2 tablespoons mirin, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You might want to add more sugar for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or soy sauce for saltiness.
  3. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits (up to 3 hours), the more the flavors will develop.
  4. Once the flavors have blended, strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any brown sugar lumps (optional).
  5. Store the ponzu sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
