This tonkatsu sauce is delicious. My husband loves using this sauce on more than just tonkatsu. It's great with coconut shrimp and for dipping umeboshi pork rolls. Keep leftover sauce refrigerated — if there is any.

Recipe Tip

This sauce is ready in 30 minutes, but it's even better if you let it sit in the refrigerator for a full day.
