Originally from Japan, Tonkatsu sauce is a condiment that is often used as a dipping sauce for fried pork cutlets, or Tonkatsu. This savory sauce is made from a combination of ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, resulting in a bold umami flavor and thick, sticky consistency that pairs well with rice dishes, meats, and stir-fries.

Instructions

1.	Combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, and white sugar in a small bowl.
2.	Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce is well-combined.
3.	Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
4.	Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
