Add yuzu juice. Freeze ponzu to use later. One easy method is to freeze any you won't use immediately in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, pop out the cubes and keep them in a plastic freezer bag in the freezer. Then when you want ponzu to use in a recipe, simply thaw the amount you wish to use.
Ponzu can be used in many different ways. It's often used as a condiment or dipping sauce. It can be used as a marinade and may serve both of those purposes for chicken yakitori. Just keep in mind that you should discard the marinade used for the raw chicken and only serve untouched ponzu as the dipping sauce.
The ingredients of ponzu are essentially Japanese, despite the name's Dutch origin. Rice vinegar, mirin, konbu, and katsuobushi are the typical ingredients. If you're unfamiliar with Japanese cooking terms, the final three components are rice wine, bonito flakes, and seaweed, all of which are common ingredients in Japanese cuisine.
