Homemade Tonkatsu Sauce | Easy Japanese Recipes

[@AHG1347]

Thank you so much for this recipe. It has been say by many people already, but explaining your thought process at every step along with your great enthusiasm for cooking is always much appreciated.

[@evilcab]

yup! i feel like he try to educate the viewer on the logic of each steps rather than just following a recipe.

[@charlesblack1972]

People who can give in-depth explanations for any step they take is a huuuge plus for me

[@Skare75]

I've only just come across this channel, I have to say that it's masterfully done. Brilliant presentation, great recipes and fantastic videography and sound design. I also find the mood of these videos very calming. Quickly becoming one of my favourites.

[@fxarts9755]

i made ramen with a friend (your receipt ) last time and it was delicious ... now we are planning to make tonkatsu next !!!! cant wait.

[@DiegoTeruel]

Dude!!! I love your style of making these videos! Me and my wife were running out of tonkatsu sauce and now thanks to you we don’t have to be keep trying to extend the life of the sauce we bought in japan. Thanks again! You are awesome and continue to have the same style! I love it.

[@lifebeyondrepair]

this is one of the best katsu recipes on YT. really traditional, not just simple ketchup soy sauce sugar and Worcestershire sauce.

[@SteebTai]

I found your channel a week ago and have been watching nonstop. The way you care for your food really inspired me to cook more often in my kitchen. Keep up the good work!

[@Kevrik]

Seriously I found one of your Raman videos by accident earlier today, its about 6 hours later and im still going through your amazing videos, love that you give both what you use why you use it and whether its really important or not while caring about its culture and what matters when you just want quick good food. Your warmth is infectious and I wish you success in what ever way you view it as because you deserve it

[@ricardow9281]

Only found your channel yesterday, already addicted!

And the man even eloquently integrates safety guidance for us as well. Class. :')

[@bernardinolo1110]

I'm addicted to watching you peel, cut and chop the veggies~

[@davidhalldurham]

Wonderful recipe and beautifully explained, as always, Adam. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@shannonrobinson262]

I’m going to try this with raisins as I am out of dates and rarely buy prunes. Thank you for this recipe.

[@filmauge16zu9]

Thank you so much for the recipe of a real tonkotsu sauce! I hope manny people will try it. I have got almost the same recipe from an elderly Japanese lady. Real tonkotsu sauce has all the magical spices that reminds me on Christmas. Since 10 years I am using this also for okonomiyaki and yakisoba... Actually I put it on everything. 😋

[@gibsonrayboyles2034]

This is a restaurant quality tonkatsu sauce. Very complex ingredients but I bet it taste nice. Awesome!!

[@ThePolinglong]

I made this sauce and I love the flavour. 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!

[@laken1804]

Thank you, I've been looking for the real deal for while. There are a lot of recipe with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce on the internet. ❤👍

[@TinyLue]

Such a peaceful channel, your passion really shows. Thank you.

[@shirleylarose4038]

Thanks 👍 Andrew, I love your natural cooking ❤😂

[@MegaAlfies]

There's nothing I dislike in your videos :) such great work from everyone involved

[@bikoy143]

I feel like I'm watching interstellar with that music as you cook that out-of-this-world sauce. A top-notch video as usual. You seriously deserve more subs!

[@yestfl]

You are amazing, and have a fan for life! We fell in love with Japanese cuisine when we visited a few months ago and your channel is amazing.

[@cursedcookies]

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.

[@laurenbray8314]

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.

[@yokewenglee2987]

I hv to say this is the best Japanese sauce I ever make 🥳🥳 so fruity and delicious.. thanks Adam for the wonderful recipe and clear instructions.. love all your videos 👏👏

[@bryanjensen355]

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.

[@ryanpoulos8232]

The recipe looks really good. Though I do wanna mention that when you were initially going over the ingredients you excluded mentioning the Bay Leaves in the sauce but added them in later. I just wanted to say in case anyone might’ve been confused.

[@micah4801]

So awesome! Thanks for doing a deep dive on one of the most integral parts of a tonkatsu meal. I've never seen anyone make a tonkatsu sauce from scratch other than mixing "Woostah Soh-su" with ketchup. Can't wait to try this.

[@micahbell7376]

Very complex ingridients, i will try it

[@Dizzula]

Japanese style humburgers? That's something I'd love to see you do. Another great recipe, thank you!

[@chrism2360]

Wow, love this recipe, thank you! Now i know what that mysterious sauce is:)

[@KevShaw808]

Thank you for this video. I had no idea how that sauce came together. I'll have to give it a try.

[@trashcatlinol]

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!

[@yvan2218]

When will adam ever finish roaming around the market in the intro?

[@mnp572]

Legend has it he’s still roaming

[@norcalovenworks]

I use the recipe for tonkatsu sauce from Miyagi Bento Ya in Sacramento, 1 can of apple juice concentrate, 1 small bottle soy sauce, boil to reduce by half. Tastes awesome.

[@GrumpetteJV]

Your videos are so incredible well made... So, so very much appreciated. What a joy to watch!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@snoozleblob]

Class Act Adam.. definitely going to try this.. thank you 🙏

[@jamiejauw9112]

You could add rice syrup instead of additional sugar, it would add viscosity and a lovely sheen/glossiness!

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

I found bull-dog brand imported straight from Japan at my local Chinese supermarket. Yay.

Adam the knife you use is gorgeous, what kind is it?

[@FivedotFiveSix]

interesting sauce.

[@xsaver23]

Would love to see a Chili oil video next!

[@nadolfc8008]

Is this a sweeter more delicate taste compared to the British HP brown sauce?

[@jamesyamamoto5155]

Hey Adam, where'd you buy the knife rack I see in the background of your videos? I have some beautiful Japanese kitchen knives, and it's a shame to keep them in a kitchen drawer. I looked online and I couldn't find one like yours.

[@sheldon7376]

I’ll stick to letting it come to room temp cause my blander has one speed... FAST

[@sargiel111]

Sweet! Any chance for java sauce from the scratch for tonkatsu?

[@RushOurComplex]

Love your videos! Can you make a cantonese styled chow mien recipe? With fried noodles?

[@Altareiss]

adding MSG to it would be overkill right Adam?

[@nickdolshenko7617]

If you have a cheap blender/mixer, it can melt the plastic, happened to me once, when I blended toasted nuts. I'd advice to let your food cool down :)

[@wilikaka]

thank you very useful

Would a stick blender be adequate instead of a blender?

Yup

[@garth56]

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]

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.

Hi adam, what is alternate for red wine if i don't want to use red wine or any alcohol??

[@mitascooking5090]

Red wine can be replace? If can with what? Or it's okay to not use red wine? Because it is not halal.. but I wanna try this sauce

[@SuzanneBaruch]

The written recipe lists a peach, but that wasn't included in this video. I'm guessing that means the peach isn't necessary? (There are actually several differences between the ingredients list and this video.)

[@islot40]

I want the easy version but can't find it. Can you add the link?

[@sscaramal]

Do you blend the cloves and allspice?

[@chenjunsmith9411]

is it okay if we didn't add the wine ?

[@cdmurray88]

I always like to point out, be very careful making caramel: it reaches around 160c and is very sticky: makes for some really bad burns.

[@biohazard724]

It earns its nickname: kitchen napalm

[@Dinckelburg]

Adam, what's the difference between tonkatsu sauce and brown sauce (like HP)?

[@jadespidey]

Ooh this sauce is really easy to make. Although, I can't eat/drink alcohol. So is there any substitute for red wine and is it still gonna taste the same without it?

[@TheFestologist]

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

[@silverdawn813]

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.

[@jadespidey]

@@silverdawn813 Yeap I learned that about cooking alcohol from another Adam's video..Adam Ragusea. Alright, ima make some grape juice and see how the sauce turns out :D

[@silverdawn813]

@@jadespidey oh! you might want to adjust the sugar. because, well, juice. good luck!

@@silverdawn813 Alright~ Thanks!

[@johnconner1872]

hey guys, is there an alternative for the red wine?the reason is that i can't have alcohol. can i just leave it out or can i use something else?

Is it possible to omit the onion? I am allergic

That is some thicc sauce! Looks good, will make one. i like my thick sauces.

I used another "quick" recipe I found which said sugar, ketchup, oyster and worcestershire sauce. Any opinion?
