How to Make Ponzu Sauce Authentic

  1. Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and yuzu juice in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the grated daikon radish and finely chopped scallions.
  5. Let the sauce cool completely before tasting and adjusting seasonings as needed (add more mirin for sweetness, rice vinegar for acidity, or soy sauce for saltiness).
  6. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids, if desired, for a smoother texture.
  7. Store the ponzu sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
