given the chance, i would have defrosted and marinated it in beer first.
i don't have sake or the sweet rice wine for the sauce..

pop the hubby in the eye, then use the meat to cool the shiner.. it'll be defrosted in no time. and he wont even notice dinner isn't ready.

yeah that's true sometimes markets have a small int'l foods section and they might carry the kikkoman brand tonkatsu sauce....if they don't hell i can buy it for you one day and mail it to you for future usage.

hai hai. panko. We just had a shrimp tempura dinner last saturday and for $7 we had like 30 pieces of shrimp on the table... compared to the freaking $5 of four totally crumbed out shrimp they sell out in restaurants.

do you put rum in your sauce? I just discovered my mom's secret in making uber good tempura sauce...

rum in the tempura sauce? hmm...never heard of that one....well the sauce is pretty thin so i would think it would really effect the flavor...like overpower but then i never tried it..sounds interesting...

here's a simple recipe i found for (ten tsuyu= tempura dipping sauce)

-----Dipping Sauce (Ten Tsuyu)-----
2 cups bonito soup stock (Katsuo Dashi)
1/2 cup mirin (sweet seasoning sake)
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake (rice wine)
Grated daikon (Japanese radish)
Grated fresh ginger root



but i'm lazy if i made tempura at home i'd just buy a bottle of tsuyu from the japanese market.

you mean tempura sauce not tonkatsu sauce, right ...because that's what the recipe was for, a tempura dipping sauce not tonkatsu sauce.
