Ponzu Sauce is a traditional Japanese dipping sauce that is often served with sushi and sashimi dishes. It is made with a combination of citrus fruits, soy sauce, and vinegar, which gives it a tangy and refreshing taste. The sauce can also be used as a marinade for tofu, chicken, and fish, or as a dressing for salads. In this recipe, we use real orange juice, fresh lime juice, and cayenne pepper to give the sauce a sweet and spicy kick. The sesame oil adds a nutty flavor that balances the sourness of the citrus fruits. This Authentic Ponzu Sauce is a must-try for anyone who loves Asian cuisine.
