Ponzu sauce is very versatile, it’s probably best known as the dipping sauce for Japanese shabu shabu. It’s also popular with thinly sliced halibut or sea bream sashimi. I enjoy experimenting with ponzu sauce and found it goes really well with pan fried eggplants. Garnish with shiso to add more complexity to this delicious vegetarian recipe.
