dipping sauce for tempura
 
Anyone know what it's called. Not soya or teriaki. It has a lighter and
somewhat different flavour.

Tonkatsu sauce? Is it red, or actually like a BBQ sauce color?

It's called tempura dipping sauce. I just buy it in a jar.

I don't think I'd use Tonkatsu sauce for tempura. It's good for
deep-fried breaded pork and chicken. I have a recipe but I have
to admit I prefer the store-bought stuff :-)

In a jar? I would have thought it might be available in a bottle. Who
makes it?

Lots of brands. Kikkoman makes it. There are several brands in almost any
Asian section of a store.

tonkatsu would be tough. that would be like making your own ketchup,
or heinz 57 or something. (i looked into the latter and ended up
buying the store brand (giant), which isn't too bad.)

Two sources say it is called "tentsuya", but I am sure that is
not the name I knew when I lived in Japan.

The sauce is called "tentsuyu". According to the fairly canonical
cookbook by Shizuo Tsuji, Koichiro Hata, and Yoshikatsu Saeki, it is
often made with a mixture of the following:

19 fl. oz. dashi
5 tablespoons dark soy sauce
5 tablespoons mirin
1.8 oz. bonito flakes

The sauce is flavoured with:
6 tablespoons daikon, finely grated
2 teaspoons ginger, finely grated

Heh. I thought another source said tentsuyu as vs. tentsuya,
but I didn't go back and look!

Tonkatsu ( the real stuff) is thickened with apple as A1 is thickened with
raisins.

As I said, I prefer the commercial stuff but the recipe I have
is sort of a spicy ketchup without fruit.

Tonkatsu Sauce

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup tomato ketchup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice



In a small saucepan, whisk together the Worcestershire, sugar,
soy sauce and ketchup.

Bring to a simmer over medium low heat.

Reduce the heat to gentle simmer and whisk often until reduced
to 1 cup, about 10 minutes.

Whisk in mustard and allspice.

Cool to room temperature.

The sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator.

Have you tried adding a little Chinese 5 spice?

Have you tried it with Ponzu sauce? It's a soy-based sauce with
citrus (I think yazu) added.

I don't eat tempura, but ponzu is great with gyoza.

Might be interesting but, as I more or less said, I've come to
like the commercial stuff from my Japanese grocery store so
I'll stick to that.

Thanks all. Sounds like the best option is to just buy the stuff made up if
I can find it.

I do know that what I tasted has no Worchester, no ketchup and no chinese 5
spice.
