Tonkatsu frenzy!

Home } Food } Tonkatsu frenzy!

All I wanted was an easy recipe for tonkatsu sauce, and what I found was the OCD answer to the question: The Great Tonkatsu Sauce Shootout, wherein the author taste-tests one home-made recipe and nine products, and tests different types of pork (cheapie off the shelf versus pricey Kurobuta) and tests pig’s lard versus Wesson oil as a frying medium.

This guy has read too much Cooks Illustrated.

Nevertheless, with his advice I did throw together a decent tonkatsu sauce made up of ketchup, plum sauce, light soy, dark soy, and Worcestershire sauce.

    Thank FSM for the otaku, and the internets that let them share their obsessions freely, eh? Otherwise, how else would you know what tentacle porn to download tonkatsu sauce to make?

    Let me tell you about our first exposure to tentacle porn. We had this old Xandria catalog, and of course it had a video section, and one of the videos had such an outrageous write-up that we (of course) had to buy it. This was in the pre-Jake days when we were still Fun. I wish I had saved the write-up (since it was far, far better than the actual video), but I recall it included the words tentacle sex, vampirism, and papacy.

    “I wish I had saved the write-up (since it was far, far better than the actual video)”

    *sigh* And isn’t that the problem with most porn, tentacular or not…

    My first exposure to tentacle porn was an amygdala-scarring, goatse-like, gee-where-does-this-link-go-OMG-MY-EYES!!!11! experience.
