"I needed Ponzu for a dish I was making, and they didn't have it in my grocery store, so I made my own. You can use this sauce in any recipe calling for Ponzu Sauce, or use on seafood, grilled meats and vegetables for a splash of savory flavor. It has the perfect balance of salty, tangy and sweet to enhance a wide variety of dishes, and is great to dip your sushi in. NOTE: Make sure you zest the lemon/lime before squeezing. Bonito flakes can be found at your local Asian Market and in some of your grocery stores, in the Asian section. "
