This went great on baked chicken breasts - thanks, Tracy!

I found this to be a little too sour. Tonkatsu sauce should be much sweeter and more fruity than this.

Too complicated, tomato sauce, Apple cider vinegar, Sugar Honey, and soy sauce are all you need, let cook until half the size and refrigerate, that's real!

Made pork tonkatsu last night, this sauce was a great substitute for Bulldog Sauce, which is not available here. We used a tad more applesauce a tablespoon total.
