Mixed Vinegar Sauce
Awase-zu
This makes a sweet tasting vinegar sauce that aids the digestion and cleanses the palate. It should be used with vegetables and salads; it's not recommended for meat or fish. It's particularly well suited to root vegetables such as ginger, lotus root and daikon radish.
Ingredients
- 4 tsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp sake
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Methods/steps
Mix all the ingredients well, dissolving both the sugar and the salt in the liquid ingredients. This can be kept for up to a week if refrigerated and the flavour actually improves when left in the fridge for a couple of days.
