Citrus and soy walk into a bar; soy sauce leaves with a personality.
means A tart Japanese sauce made from citrus juice, soy sauce, and usually vinegar or flakes of dried bonito, used for dipping or drizzling to brighten rich or fatty foods.
from The word likely comes from the Dutch 'pons,' a punch-like drink made of several ingredients mixed together — Dutch traders brought the term to Japan centuries ago, where it first referred to citrus juice itself before settling on the soy-citrus blend we know today.
