Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dashi stock or water
- 0.25 cup katsuobushi (bonito flakes)
- 1 1-inch piece kombu (dried kelp)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, dashi stock or water, katsuobushi, and kombu.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently warm the mixture. Do not bring it to a full boil; heat just until steaming.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors of the bonito flakes and kombu.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids (katsuobushi and kombu).
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lime juice. Mix thoroughly.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes to chill before serving.
Serve as a dipping sauce with sushi, dumplings, grilled meats, or drizzle over salads or noodles.
