Yuzu ponzu is a Japanese soy and citrus sauce. Here, it provides a hit of umami in this ginger-sesame mignonette.—Soo Kim
1/4 cup yuzu ponzu
1 tbsp water
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp julienned ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
In a small bowl, stir together all ingredients, then pour or scrape into a serving container. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day, bringing mignonette back to room temperature before serving, about 30 min.
