‘Tonkatsu’ (Pork Cutlets) and ‘Chicken-katsu’ (Chicken Cutlets) are often served with ‘Tonkatsu’ Sauce. ‘Tonkatsu’ Sauces are available from some Asian grocery stores, but it you can’t find it, why don’t you make it.

‘Tonkatsu’ Sauce is quite sweet. I think it is a mix of some fruit chutney, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and spices. It tastes like HP BBQ sauce.

'Sesame Tonkatsu Sauce' is also nice. Grind Toasted Sesame Seeds until moist. Then combine all ingredients and mix well.

1-2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
1-2 teaspoon Sugar

My Aussie friends love 'Sweet Miso Sauce'. Combine all the ingredients in a heat-proof bowl, and heat in the microwave for 1 minute and stir well.
2 tablespoons Miso
1 tablespoon Sugar
2 tablespoons Mirin
1-2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
*Note: Alter the amount of Sugar and Mirin depending on the type of Miso you use. Darker colour Miso has stronger flavour.
