Tonkatsu Sauce
Tonkatsu sauce is a Japanese version of Worcestershire sauce that is thicker, and similar to brown sauce. Although the sauce is typically pretty complex, a nice simple way to make it at home is to simply mix Worcestershire sauce with ketchup , soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger and garlic. Traditionally served with Tonkatsu (panko coated fried pork cutlet)
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp soy sauce (low sodium)
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 clove garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS:
Stir ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, Worcestershire sauce, ginger and garlic together in a mixing bowl.
Refrigerate and let all of the ingredients blend together overnight.
Remove from refrigerator and serve at room temperature with your Tonkatsu.
