Notes
Adjust to your liking - Some brands of ketchup are sweeter than others - make sure to taste the sauce and adjust to your liking. This is also dependent on if you like your sauce on the sweeter or saltier side!
Let the flavors meld - It's important to let the tonkatsu sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a more cohesive sauce.
Storage - Once mixed, store your homemade Tonkatsu (Katsu) sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Avoid dipping directly into the sauce container; you want to avoid any cross-contamination or crumbs in your tonkatsu sauce!
