Ingredients: ½ cup ketchup; 2 ½ tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce; 2 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce; 1 ½ tablespoons dry sherry; 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar; ½ teaspoon garlic powder; ½ teaspoon ground ginger

I created this sauce in my own kitchen with ingredients I already had in my cupboard. The results are delicious and it has become a staple in my home. This recipe can easily be doubled. Try using it for dipping katsu chicken and egg rolls, or use it as a substitute for barbeque sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Lucy's Quick Tonkatsu Sauce

ketchup

soy sauce

Worcestershire sauce

dry sherry

white sugar

garlic powder

ginger

Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, sugar, garlic powder, and ginger in a microwave-safe coffee mug or glass measuring cup. Stir well with a fork and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir again and set aside.


Let stand for 1 hour to allow the flavors to incorporate.


Good base but needed some tweaking. I'm a Bulldog Tonkatsu Sauce fan. My next batch, I think I will use 3/4 c. ketchup and 1/4 c. either apricot or plum puree.

I made my first batch last night on a whim.  I didn't have dry sherry so substituted apple cider vinegar.  It was hard to leave it sitting for an hour for the flavors to meld because the first taste after stirring/heating was really good!  This is a definite keeper!  I might try adding additional ground ginger or a dash of hot sauce/ground cayenne next time for a little more zip.

Lucy you hit the ball out of the park with this ton katsu sauce - better than the rather expensive Japanese bottled version.  Thanks!

Pretty fantastic tasting sauce and I'm a huge bottled sauce fan! Thanks!!!

I've never had Tonkatsu before and this recipe isn't going to make me want to try it again. I suppose I'm just not a Tonkatsu fan however DH liked it so it didn't go to waste. I served it with Katsu Chicken jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. Overall it wasn't inedible but nothing I'll be trying again soon.

Made it twice now first go was following the recipe and having no more wine left made a batch with a sweet Sake and I like both. Simple enough to make and the next batch will be a quadruple batch cause it's good on eggs chicken pork pretty much universal!

Good enough to put Ki an out of business! Did not have sherry so I used marsala wine instead and it worked out just fine. I can't believe just how incredibly easy this is to make and like Lucy said all from stuff you already have in the kitchen. My Tonkatsu sauce buying days are behind me.

This was too easy and tasted great. Makes it 5 stars in my book!

I've never had Tonkatsu sauce so I have nothing to compare this to but it was delicious! I didn't heat mine in the micro but rather simmered on the stove for about 20 mins. so the flavors could meld. Absolutely loved it although my other half would prefer a touch less ketchup. What does he know lol. Thanks!:o)
