Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce the salty kind, not the sweet
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp grapefruit juice optional, though it does help get close to ponzu sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce optional, though it does help get close to ponzu sauce
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Normally, you would add kombu and bonito flakes and let those all sit together in a refrigerator for 24 hours or up to a week. But we're here to make an easy version so just mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Use immediately or store. To be safe, ponzu can be stored for one month. But if you keep it away from water, you may be able to store it for 6 – 12 months.
