Tuna salad
Lovely recipe, I'm not sure if you're aware you can but "Ponzu" dressing in any supermarket. Just thought I'd pass that one on, makes life just that bit easier.

Ponzu dressing
I believe you need to add soy sause to the dressing as you mentioned. You can buy "Ajipon" or "yuzupon" at Japanese grocery store and it has soy sause and citrus juice already. It is very handy, versatile sause that I use quite often for salad(even without oil), stair fry, tofu, etc. If you want to make it from the scrach, you can use soy sause and lemon juice.

Query to anyone
In the video, the ingredients of the Ponzu dressing is added to some brown liquid that is already in a bowl. My first instinct tells its soy sauce but it hasn't got it in the ponzu dressing recipe above. Any suggestions what it is? Thank you

Sticking to the steamer
