Tempura Dipping Sauce

4.2
(22)

The traditional Japanese tempura sauce for dipping shrimp or vegetable tempura. This is a full-flavored version — unlike the thinner, watery, less robust sauce being served in some restaurants. Serve in small bowls at each setting. As an added option, provide grated fresh ginger and grated daikon to mix into the sauce.
