Best 2 Sashimi Dipping Sauce Recipes

Sashimi, a delectable delicacy of thinly sliced raw fish, is a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine, often served with soy sauce. However, to elevate the sashimi experience, a variety of dipping sauces can be prepared, each offering a unique flavor profile. This article presents a collection of five exceptional sashimi dipping sauces, ranging from the classic ponzu sauce to the spicy and tangy yuzu kosho sauce.

1. Ponzu Sauce: The quintessential sashimi dipping sauce, ponzu, is a citrus-based concoction that combines soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and katsuobushi (bonito flakes).

2. Shoyu Sauce: Shoyu, also known as soy sauce, is a traditional Japanese condiment made from fermented soybeans, wheat, and salt. Its rich, savory flavor complements sashimi beautifully, while also adding a touch of umami.

3. Goma Dare Sauce: This creamy and nutty sauce is a blend of roasted sesame seeds, rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, and sake.

4. Yuzu Kosho Sauce: For those who enjoy a spicy kick, yuzu kosho is a zesty and pungent sauce made from yuzu citrus, green chili peppers, and salt.

These five sauces offer a diverse array of flavors to enhance the enjoyment of sashimi.

3. Serve with Pork Wontons from the frozen section of your local grocery store (O'TASTY) is the best brand of wonton. Serve also with fried, steamed fish or any oriental dish and white rice.
4. Tips: If your sauce turns out overpowering from the Soy Sauce, then add more Sake to it. It lightens up the sauce without the extra vinegar or sugar. That is what is good about this ingredient. I use it in all my soy sauce recipes for this reason. If it lacks a bite to it then you need some Apple Cider Vinegar but not much. Also the sesame salt or crushed sesame seeds is also very important to the flavoring of the dip and I always use it in mine. These measurements should be just right for the best tasting dipping you will ever have. Just remember that you don't need to use much of this sauce for the flavors is very strong.
5. Freeze Unused Portions of Sauce. It is very good the next time you use it.
