Sauce Essentials: Japanese BBQ Sauce image

This is a variation on a Japanese style BBQ sauce. It is relatively simple to construct, and is excellent for a dish called Tonkatsu (Japanese breaded pork). If you are looking for something a bit different than a traditional "American" BBQ Sauce, I have discovered that it works well on conventional pork and/or beef dishes. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen
