Juice of 2 lemons (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons tamari
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup bonito flakes (dried fish)
1 3"-square kelp, cut in thirds
In a bowl, mix together all ingredients. Let sit for 24 hours, then strain through cheesecloth.
Ideally the ponzu should sit, refrigerated, for at least a month. Use it as a dipping sauce for tempura.
Poster's Notes:
Our Japanese student suggested we buy some already made last fall, and now that it's almost gone, it's nice to know it's easy enough to make. Makes a great dipping sauce for dumplings, gyoza, or fried foods.
