Homemade Katsu Sauce Recipe - Tonkatsu

[@TheCowEmporium]

Definitely magical! You just made my favourite meal I’ve eaten so far! I can’t wait until we aren’t doing cattle chores during your premiere time. It makes me sad to miss your video and chat with you and friends! Thanks for the great recipe. Take care, Annette 🌺

[@kathcares]

Hi, Annette! We missed you, too, but we know you've been busy. We were talking about substituting the date syrup for maple syrup to make a more Canadian version!☺🍁

[@TheCowEmporium]

@@kathcares heya lovely! That sounds awesome. 😊♥️

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Annette! We miss you too! I've been pretty busy lately too and haven't been able to keep up with weekly videos, but I've got some fun videos planned over the next few months!

What is a catsup substitute? I just have a personal aversion to it.

[@kathcares]

Hi! There's probably enough flavors in the other ingredients that you could just leave it out. It will yield less sauce. Or you could substitute a tablespoon of tomato paste if you want the tomato flavor. You're cooking it down, so you won't need to worry about adding extra liquid. I use Master Chef oyster sauce and that stuff has enough umami for the whole sauce; it's Marc's favorite. Plus you have the Worcestershire sauce and date syrup. You won't need to add any extra sweetness or salt. I hope you enjoy this! One of the joys of making your own sauce is customizing it to your tastes and preferences.😊

[@NoRecipes]

Ketchup contains vinegar, sugar, tomato concentrate and spices. It's added to add a base of sweet, savory, sour, and spicy tastes. The resulting sauce doesn't really taste like ketchup due to the other ingredients, but if you leave it out, it's not going to taste right. If you have a problem with the tomato, you could try and make your own ketchup from some other fruit like bananas or peaches by cooking them with vinegar, sugar, salt, etc.

Mark, your sunny video personality is infectious! Thank you for this very very very useful recipe. I love the kakushi aji. Bye bye, expensive Bulldog Sauce, nice to have met meet you!

I love Japanese food. I lived there for 3 years.

What was your most favorite food that you ate during your life in Japan?

[@hesherette]

thank you mark, can't wait to make this it's so versatile i want to put it on everything!!

[@NoRecipes]

You're welcome! I've already used most of my last batch. I hope you enjoy it!

[@jhoanoff]

I’ve been wondering how to make this delicious sauce for years now!! Thank you so much :,)

[@NoRecipes]

Happy to hear I could help!

[@MiguelAngel-2135]

Hi! how many days can the sauce be stored in the refrigerator?

[@kathcares]

Hi! I've made this and I usually use it up in a few days, because it's that good! I would think that because it's cooked and the ingredients have enough salt and sugar in them it should keep for at least 2 weeks in the fridge, maybe up to a month. I hope you try it!☺

[@MiguelAngel-2135]

@@kathcares Wow, thank you!. I was afraid to keep it for more than 3 days.. jejeje

[@NoRecipes]

Sorry for the slow response, but I have a batch of this that's now been in the fridge for a month. There's barely any left, but it's still fine.

Awesome! Another sauce to add to my arsenal. This looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing, Marc 👍

[@NoRecipes]

Hahahha you're welcome Ron! I make a version of this with liquid smoke that ends up being kinda like a Japanese version of BBQ sauce.

[@kerryf9796]

What timing! I am making Katsu Curry tonight so I just made this too. I'll be having half and half!!! ❤❤❤

[@NoRecipes]

Good call!

[@TEATimeAdventures]

This looks so yummy ❤

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Teresa!😀

[@Esther-ps3vx]

I host student fromJapan and I enjoy cooking Japanese food for them. I have made this sauce but I will try this recipe. I am craving for a bagel egg sandwich and I think I might add this sauce and see how the sandwich tastes.

[@NoRecipes]

I hope you enjoy it! We put this sauce on just about everythign here in Japan and I can confirm it is tasty on sandwiches, especially on toasted bread.

[@joelvalencia4070]

We didnt have apple juice but it was still good! Thanks for sharing!!

[@NoRecipes]

Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Thank for letting me know!

Is that a Carote pot you’re using in the vid? Oh, and by the way, I continue to enjoy the non-stick Tramontina pan I purchased per your recommendation. 👍🏾

[@NoRecipes]

Happy to hear you've been enjoying the Tamontina, it's still my kitchen workhorse. As for the pot, it's a no name brand from Amazon. I bought it to shoot a video for a client and realized it's easier to shoot dark foods in a white pan 😅

[@jaharidz]

Which curry powder did you use?

[@NoRecipes]

For eating hot I'd go with thigh meat, but breast meat is best for eating at room temp.

[@familyc3026]

What a simple condiment to make without any food additives or other preservatives. Do you think juicing my own apple juice will work? I do not want to end up buying a bottle of apple juice that I am not going to drink the remaining. Thank you for the recipe.

[@NoRecipes]

Yep, that’ll work. If you have a juicer use that, otherwise you can grate it and press the pulp through a fine mesh strainer .

[@samsam.03]

I was a bit surprised by your name, because I visited Matsumoto City last month. I'm curious... Is it your real last name or are you from Matsumoto City? Greetings from Germany

[@NoRecipes]

Matsumoto is among the most common surnames in Japan so it’s not so unusual 😄

[@lemoncake3824]

I'm guessing the reason why he used some fruits and ginger is probably to get back the freshness that has already melted into the Worcestershire sauce. Ketchup🍅, curry powder🍛, and oyster sauce🦪...I think this is a "katsu sauce" that is full of best parts of each condiment🍽.

[@lemoncake3824]

Anyone has idea what fruit is a good substitute of date syrup🤔? Fig or apricot jam?

[@NoRecipes]

The date syrup is a common ingredient in most bottled sauces. It's there to add sweetness, but it also adds caramel and molasses notes. You could substitute other sweeteners like brown sugar (1:1 substitute) or honey (3 tablespoons will be enough).

[@kathcares]

@@lemoncake3824 I think figs would make a really interesting substitute!

[@fartingfoxmaster7852]

The recipe for this on your website shows both in "US measures", not grams

[@NoRecipes]

The website has the option of showing mass measurements in grams or ounces but volumetric measures are all in US cups. 1 US cup = 240ml, so 1/4 cup = 60ml.
