Vegetarian Ponzu Sauce
Store-bought ponzu often contains bonito flakes to enhance the flavor. This vegetarian version relies on a variety of citrus juices to keep the sauce flavor balanced. If you have access to the juice of yuzu fruit, a uniquely flavored Japanese citrus, use it in place of the lemon juice.
