Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (use vegan Worcestershire sauce for vegan/vegetarian)
- 1 tsp mentsuyu (concentrated noodle soup base) (or make my homemade Homemade Mentsuyu)
- ¾ tsp sugar
- ½ tsp ketchup
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp mentsuyu (concentrated noodle soup base), ¾ tsp sugar, and ½ tsp ketchup. Whisk it all together. Adjust the taste according to your liking. Tip: Some ketchup is sweeter than others, so please adjust the amount of sugar. Likewise, I use Japanese brand Bull-dog Worcestershire sauce (Usuta-so-su, ウスターソース), which is milder and less sour than Lea & Perrins brand, so adjust the seasoning depending on the brand you use.
