How to Make Tempura Dipping Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar until well combined.
  2. Stir in the grated daikon radish (about 1 1/2 tablespoons for optimal flavor).
  3. Gently whisk in the grated ginger and finely chopped scallions.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed – adding more mirin for sweetness or rice vinegar for tartness.
  5. For a warmer sauce, gently heat in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Alternatively, serve at room temperature.
