The miso sauce determines an exceptional Miso Katsu dish!
Here are 4 ways to authenticate a Miso Katsu dish.
The Miso SauceTwo Types
The silky and smoother miso sauce will seep into the batter and you can enjoy the meat together with its sauce wrapped around it. The batter on the meat softens naturally due to the sauce that freely flows around the meat.
On the other hand, you can also choose the Miso Katsu dish with a richer sauce. Since this sauce is slightly more pungent and thicker in texture as compared to the silky one, you will be able to taste the sauce on its own and enjoy it with the meat. In this case, the batter on the meat remains intact and it actually tastes more crunchy.
Dark Red Soybean Miso
This type of soybean miso is made up on soybeans, salt and water. It is popular in the Tokai region. The Hatcho miso from the Aichi Prefecture is characterized by its rich colour and distinctive taste.
