Ingredients

2 tbsp ketchup
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp dry mustard or 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds to add later

Instructions

To prepare the toasted sesame seeds, place them in a suribachi or mortar and pestle and coarsely grind them (if you prefer a finer texture, you can crush them further). Set aside.
To make tonkatsu sauce, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dry mustard (or Dijon mustard) and onion powder in a small mixing bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Just before serving, add the crushed sesame seeds to the sauce and mix well. Drizzle the sauce over your tonkatsu or other fried foods and enjoy!
Note: Homemade tonkatsu sauce can last in the refrigerator for up to 1 month if kept in an airtight container. (I recommend mixing in the crushed sesame seeds just before serving for maximum freshness and flavor.)
