How to Make Tonkatsu Sauce

  1. In a medium-sized glass or plastic bowl, whisk together all ingredients until completely smooth and well combined.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more Worcestershire sauce for a tangier flavor, or more sugar for increased sweetness.
  3. For best results, allow the sauce to sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
  4. Drizzle generously over your favorite Tonkatsu, Katsudon, grilled chicken, turkey, pork, steak, fish, or even a vibrant shredded cabbage salad.
