Ponzu is a Japanese citrus-based seasoning traditionally combining tangy citrus with savory depth. This
vinaigrette adapts that balance for salads and cold dishes, using orange, lemon and yuzu juices alongside mirin
and rice vinegar. SHO – Concentrated Dark Stock is incorporated as a flavor enhancer, bringing concentrated
umami and rounded savory notes without simmering or reducing the dressing.

Ingredients Quantity
SHO - Concentrated Dark Stock 45 g
Orange Juice 25 g
Mirin 25 g
Lemon Juice 17 g
Yuzu Juice 13 g
Rice Vinegar 3 g

Instructions

  1. Measure the orange juice, mirin, lemon juice, yuzu juice and rice vinegar into a clean mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk the liquids until evenly combined.
  3. Add the SHO - Concentrated Dark Stock and whisk thoroughly until the vinaigrette is homogeneous.
  4. Taste and adjust the balance of acidity and sweetness if required, then whisk again.
  5. Serve immediately as a dressing for salad, or refrigerate in a covered, food-safe container until needed.
  6. Whisk again before serving.

Notes

For a finer texture, strain freshly squeezed citrus juices before mixing.
Use chilled ingredients for a vinaigrette intended for cold salads.
Pair with leafy greens, shaved vegetables or seafood salads; whisk before each use.
