Ponzu Sauce, Authentic

1. 1

   Zest your orange (this is most easily and effectively done with a Micro-Plane grater - if you've not discovered how great these are, you must get one!) - Now juice it. You need 1/4 cup; make a screwdriver with the rest.

2. 2

   Put orange juice, zest, sake, sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and cayenne into a saucepan.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil, turn down heat to a simmer, and reduce sauce by half for about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Mix together the water and corn starch, add to the simmering sauce, and stir until thickened.

5. 5

   Allow to cook for another minute or two, add sesame oil, stir.

6. 6

   It's done! There, that was easy, wasn't it? Now taste it.

7. 7

   It's done! There, that was easy, wasn't it? Now taste it - Oh wow! Start imagining what you'll be able to do with this stuff.
