This recipe makes about a cup of sauce, I'm gonna use it for beef sashimi.

First, mix the rice wine and 1 tbs sugar. You can use mirin, but I didn't have any so this was the substitution.

Then mix the lemon juice, soy sauce, 1/4 cup sugar and the wine mixture together. Add the sesame oil.

Next, add the minced ginger and chopped up green onion to your liking. Now add the tabasco sauce for some spicyness.

If the sugar hasn't dissolved properly, microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir again.

Store in your fridge, serve cold over beef sashimi. Or bottle it up for future use. I'm not sure how long it will keep for.

So that's the homemade ponzu sauce .. enjoy !
