Recipe creator’s comments

I really liked the yuzu ponzu sauce because it provided a vibrant, citrusy flavor with the perfect balance of tanginess and umami when used as a dipping sauce with my scallion pancake.
It is a versatile condiment that enhances the flavor of seafood, salads, and grilled dishes.

❶ Mix 2 cups of flour and ½ teaspoon of salt. Slowly pour 1 cup of boiling water, stir, and then add ¼ cup of cold water to make dough.

❷Knead the dough until smooth. Stir chopped scallions (green onions) into the batter and divide into quarters.

❸ Spread thinly in a circle. Fry each pancake in vegetable oil until golden and crispy.

❹ Mix Kikkoman® Yuzu Ponzu sauce with chopped scallions for a tasty dipping sauce.
Japanese style dipping sauce is a perfect match!
