Sorry, I'm just cutting individual recipes out of their original postings with complete meals.
Makes it easier to link them in my Recipe Index.

Thanks... JC

Its the Japanese equivalent to our Ketchup.

What does this homemade Tonkatsu Sauce go with?
Now, there are a few no-brainers when it comes to pairing this sauce with a dish. The historically intended use is with Japanese breaded pork cutlets.

But, like I said, it’s totally possible here to think more in terms of all-purpose.

It would go super well with these as well:

• Vegan Baked, Breaded Tofu Chicken
• Baked Chicken Katsu Recipe
• Ham and Cheese Fried Tofu Pockets
• Japanese Fried Chicken
• Beef and Potato Croquettes – Korokke
• Tofu Edamame Fish Cakes
• Thai Fish Sticks

Obviously, that’s just a few off the cuff ideas on dishes I think would pair well with this yummy Japanese sauce.

But, the fact of the matter is: it’s pretty much good with everything!

When asking yourself if you’re about to dig into a dish that might be better with tonkatsu sauce, you may find this question helpful: Would this be good with barbeque sauce or ketchup?

If the answer is yes on either count, then you know it’s gonna be good with this dead-simple tonkatsu sauce recipe! That means everything from eggs to sandwiches to burgers and fries (and all stops in between) are totally candidates for a little drizzle of this homemade Japanese sauce on top.

In reality, tonkatsu sauce isn’t just a great ketchup substitute. You can feel free to use this sauce as a tasty alternative to okonomiyaki sauce, takoyaki sauce and yakisoba sauce in a pinch.

I used to work for a Japanese chef. we would sit and have a staff meal together everyday. He decided on what we were having for lunch. One of my faves was shrimp tonkatsu. We would put deep fried shrimp on a bun with tonkatsu and lettuce and tomato and mayo.
