Katsu Sauce Recipe

By Toni on July 8, 2014 in Entrees Recipe, Recipes

Of course you can purchase prepared Katsu Sauce to make Chicken Katsu, but to be honest, I haven’t found one that doesn’t contain high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oil. Therefore, I make my own. It’s super simple using ingredients you most likely have on hand.

Katsu Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

ketchup- 1 cup
Worcestershire sauce- 3 tablespoons
dry mustard powder- 3 teaspoons
ground ginger- 1 teaspoon
garlic powder- 1 teaspoon
ground black pepper- 2 teaspoons

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 7-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Cherry Red

I had been wanting the Le Creuset cookware set for some time but had always let the price deter me from purchasing. Then I realized that buying these beautiful pots was well worth the investment. Made in France, each pot is cast iron and enamel coated, so no worrying about chemicals leaking into your food.

I love the way my food cooks in them, especially my French Oven. The cast iron heats up and keeps a steady temperature to cook the food and is perfect for stews and braising.

Ingredients

6 ounces part skim mozzarella cheese slices
1 Tbsp. Butter or Country Crock® Spread
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, rinsed and patted dry
1 frozen pizza dough, thawed
1 cup spaghetti sauce or Ragu® Pizza Quick Sauce
2 plum tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise and cut into slices or 1 sliced red bell pepper or a mixture of the two
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Take two slices of mozzarella cheese and stack together.
Use kitchen scissors or small knife to cut a few star shapes out of the cheese. Slice remaining cheese slices into 1-inch strips.
Preheat oven to 450°.
Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sprinkle spinach over top left corner of dough. Place stars on the spinach. Lay tomatoes (or peppers) and cheese strips in alternating strips on rest of the pizza.
