- Vegan/vegetarian variant: replace the Worcestershire sauce with a vegan variant.
- Also tasty? Add some scallion to the sauce. That gives a kick and also looks nice!
- Refrigerator: Store in the fridge in a sealed box or bottle. This way, you can store it for 3 to 5 days.
- Freezer: If you want to keep the tonkatsu sauce longer, freeze it in a freezer box. Then ensure you stay one cm from the top because the sauce expands during freezing. This way, you can store it for up to 2 months. After that, let thaw in the refrigerator.
