Chicken Katsu with Homemade Tonkatsu Sauce | Japanese Fried Chicken | Easy Recipe

Serious Mealtimes / Joshua Bousel

A few weeks ago I picked up some pork katsu for lunch but when I got back to the office I saw an empty spot where that thick sweet and salty tonkatsu sauce should have been. As I tried to drink the rather dry and flavorless katsu I had to dig deep into the depths of my desk to find what must have been a two-year-old McDonalds ketchup packet to inject some kind of spiciness into my fried pork. At that moment I vowed never to be without my tonkatsu sauce again and decided to learn how to make it.

For what tastes like a fairly complex sauce it is very simple to make. Although it is eaten with Japanese breaded and fried cutlets its origins are actually British with tonkatsu sauce being a sweeter thicker version of Worcestershire.
