Katsu Sauce Recipes
Katsu sauce is a thick, glossy Japanese-style condiment with a sweet, tangy, and savory flavor. It is best known as the classic topping for tonkatsu, chicken katsu, and other crispy breaded cutlets.
Use katsu sauce anywhere you want bold umami and gentle sweetness: drizzle it over rice bowls, spread it on katsu sandwiches, serve it as a dip for fries or nuggets, or whisk it into quick marinades and stir-fry sauces.
Because it is rich and concentrated, a little goes a long way. Pair it with crunchy fried foods, cabbage slaw, steamed rice, pickles, and creamy mayo for balanced weeknight meals.
