Step by Step Method

Step 1

Zest your orange. This is most easily and effectively done with a Micro-Plane grater. If you've not discovered how great these are, you must get one!

Step 2

Step 3

Now juice the orange. You need ¼ cup.

Step 4

Make a screwdriver with the rest. :)

Step 5

Step 6

Put orange juice, zest, sake, sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and cayenne into a saucepan.

Step 7

Step 8

Bring to a boil, turn down heat to a simmer, and reduce sauce by half for about 3 minutes.

Step 9

Step 10

Mix together the water and corn starch, add to the simmering sauce, and stir until thickened.

Step 11

Step 12

Allow to cook for another minute or two, add sesame oil, stir.

Step 13

Step 14

Note:

Step 15

Ponzu sauce keeps for a year and the longer you keep it, the better it tastes. It does not need to be refrigerated.

I had never had ponzu before and after making this, I will certainly be having it again! Delicious on some baked black cod. Looking forward to trying it on salmon.
