Ponzu Sauce

Just a Pinch Recipe Club, Chef Andy Anderson, United States.
This is a Japanese citrus tamari sauce, used as a dipping sauce for seafood, marinade for meats to be grilled, or even as a dressing for salads and cold noodles. This is an easy to prepare sauce but there is a long passive time.

Red Radish Salad I

I love red radishes so this salad sounds really good. I made this on 6 Oct 2018, excellent taste, and my wife loved this. A small amount is perfect as a side as it has a strong flavor.

Course Side
Cuisine American
Servings 3 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 5 large red radishes
  • 1 cups white vinegar, or rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash the radishes and thinly slice, the use of a mandolin is highly recommend.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the vinegar, sugar, and salt, whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the sliced radish, mix, then season with pepper as desired, a pinch or two. If there is not enough liquid to cover most of the radishes, mix in equal parts water and vinegar, then place in the fridge for at least an hour. This salad will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
  • For serving, think as a salad, or mixed into a lettuce salad, or as a burger or hot dog topping.

Low cost.
Variants: 1. Add thinly sliced onion to the radishes. 2. Use rice vinegar in place of white.
