If you're not familiar with Tonkatsu sauce, it is a traditional Japanese sauce often served with chicken or pork. Tonkatsu is incredibly easy to make but the thick, salty flavors of this sauce make it taste much more complex and immediately transforms any meal.
This recipe comes to us from our good friends at FeyginFoodie who are committed to helping us all find that balance of food exploration with a twist of humor and historical contexts.
