Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 cup Tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar.
Stir in the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar and to ensure all of the ingredients are well combined.
Once the sauce begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will give it time to thicken and develop a rich flavor.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a little more sugar for sweetness or more soy sauce for saltiness, according to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Serve the gluten-free tonkatsu sauce as a dipping sauce for pork cutlets or use it as a flavorful topping.
