- Oyster Sauce: You could also use fish sauce or hoisin sauce. If you use hoisin sauce, you may need to use a bit less. You can find this at Asian grocery stores or just in the Asian aisle of your standard grocery store.
- Granulated Sugar: You could also use brown sugar or honey if you want to avoid sugar. Use more or less to adjust the sweetness.
- Feel free to adjust the amounts of any of the ingredients to your personal taste.
- I’ve seen many recipes that call for adding mayonnaise and as a result, they come out to a lighter color. If you feel like the flavor is too strong, you could try adding mayonnaise. But keep in mind that this sauce is usually served on top of a very simple breaded pork cutlet or rice bowl dish. The added fat in mayonnaise may add a nice flavor but it’s not necessary in my opinion.
- This sauce is meant to go on top of chicken katsu or tonkatsu but it would be delicious on any pork chops or chicken cutlet. It also pairs nicely with green onions.
- My favorite way to serve my Chicken Katsu Recipe is with a side of rice, cabbage salad, and topped with this homemade katsu sauce.
