Tonkatsu sauce is a sweet sauce made from fruits and vegetables that is a little like a thicker version of English Worcestershire sauce. While you can buy tonkatsu sauce in Japanese grocers under the Bulldog or Otafuku brands, high end tonkatsu places will always make their own. Try it yourself. This homemade version will change the way you look at tonkatsu.

Now I use it for Tonkatsu, Yakisoba, dipping sauce for Spare Ribs and chicken nuggets (with addition of lots of black pepper), and recently we did an Okonomiyaki party (of course with Adam's Okonomiyaki recipe, but I added a bit of ketchup, sugar, and oyster sauce to this Tonkatsu sauce) and boy was it a hit! Too delicous. Thanks, Adam!

I was so excited to see this video today! I order in Tonkatsu sauce because I adore the flavor and many asian condiments and spices just aren't available in stores where I live... In fact, I wouldn't be able to get dark soy sauce without ordering it in! Still, the process for making it is fascinating and at the very least, i can adjust the recipe to what I have available if I just can't order it in. Thank you so much for the upload! I avsolutely love your videos!

Thank you for making this! I have been scouring the internet looking for homemade, from scratch Tonkatsu sauce and could only find quick and easy versions made with condiments. This looks awesome. Love the camerawork and the music is a beautiful touch. My only confusion is why the recipe you linked in the description is different from the one you use in the video. The recipe on the website uses a peach instead of prunes.

Great! Just like a Japanese brown curry with all those excellent fruits in the sauce. One thing I think is better for texture and the glossy look is to pass through a sieve and then bring it back to a simmer for a few minutes before cooling again to room temp. The pureed veg changes the way the sauce glosses if not re-cooked.

This is the first from scratch restaurant style tonkatsu sauce recipe I've seen and I just realized that Tonkatsu sauce is basically a variation of ketchup. Fruits, veggies, aromatics and allspice, cloves stewed with sugar and vinegar/something acidic and then pureed into a condiment.

@micah4801 4 жыл бұрын

You could use some grape juice. Or just leave it out. I think the integral part here is the residual amount of alcohol that dissolves some flavors that plain water wouldn't. But there's already a ton of things in this so leaving the wine out probably won't matter that much.

@garth56 4 жыл бұрын

HP Fruity Sauce.. How did the Japanese get this as these ingredients plus a few others are in the iconic UK thick brown sauce.. Remember I said fruity because there are two versions :-)

@silverdawn813 4 жыл бұрын

Most likely in the early 1900s... HP was invented in 1895 and the Meiji restoration opened Japan to outsiders in 1868. Foreign visitors came with their foreign food and what the locals liked they adapted to their tastes. Collectively, food adapted during the Meiji period is called yōshoku and it includes Japanese curry, Hamburg steak, omurice, spaghetti, pizza etc. Tempura, castella cake, and pan (ie, bread) was introduced by the Portuguese much earlier during the tail end of the 16th century and don't classify as yōshoku.

The alcohol will boil away, so you'd just be left with the flavour from the wine itself :)

@silverdawn813 4 жыл бұрын

grape/pomegranate/cranberry juice there's a depth of flavor when using alcohol in food that you won't find in plain juice. but considering the amount of in-your-face bold flavors in this tonkatsu sauce though, it probably wouldn't be that big a deal. also, the idea that alcohol cooks out completely is practically a myth. yes, much of the up-your-nose astringency and raw alcohol flavor dissipates with heat but unless you cook something at boiling point for at least 3 hours you're not getting rid of all that alcohol.
