Steps
Steps
- 1Bring the mirin to a simmer for 30 seconds to cook off the alcohol, then cool it completely.
- 2Combine the cooled mirin with the soy sauce and rice vinegar in a jar.
- 3Add the kombu and the bonito flakes.
- 4Seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, ideally a week. Ponzu is steeped, never heated — heat drives off the citrus aroma entirely.
- 5Strain out the kombu and bonito through a fine sieve lined with muslin.
- 6Stir in the citrus juice only after straining, so it stays bright.
- 7Store in the fridge and use within a month, for dipping sashimi, dressing salads or finishing grilled fish.
