Someone had posted using Ponzu Sauce in one of their cooks.  What is Ponzu Sauce ?  Taste ?  How would it be used and which meats would be best ?  

Always interested in finding a particular taste.

Ponzu Sauce is a thin, flavored soy sauce usually used for dipping things like Chinese fried dumplings in.

.

Can also be used as a marinade or more likely an ingredient in a marinade. A relatively high salt content but probably not as much as straight soy sauce.

.

Pork or chicken with an Asian flair.

.

Can be purchased in your local grocery store or homemade starting with a soy sauce base. I usually have a bottle of Ponzu sauce in the fridge that I use for various cooks when my brain wanders in that direction.

.

Looks like I'm running low, need to buy another bottle. There are various flavors out there for sale.

It is a combination of Yuzu fruit juice and zest, with rice wine vinegar, kombu and bonito. Great dipping sauce for grilled shrimp. I make a marinade for pork with it. There is no soy sauce in the one that I use.
