Tonkatsu sauce is a popular Japanese condiment generally served with pork cutlet. This thick sauce is used as a dipping sauce, mainly for meats, but can also be enjoyed with fresh veggies. This sauce tends to go best with fried foods. It is a pretty sweet sauce so keep that in mind when using it. You can try mixing the sauce with something like a hot sauce or mustard to complement its flavor.

To make a traditional tonkatsu dish, take two pork chops and put them first in flour then egg and then coarse breadcrumbs. Then fry them until they are golden and crispy. You can add cabbage and tomatoes as a garnish to the dish and drizzle a healthy amount of tonkatsu sauce over the crispy meat. This dish tastes and looks delicious.
It is great for serving to your guests or enjoying with your friends. This Japanese Tonkatsu sauce uses mostly vegetables and fruits as its primary ingredients. Vinegar and spices are the other key ingredients that make this sauce taste tangy and refreshing. The natural sweet taste of the sauce comes from the flavors of the combined fruits and veggies.
