What is this name of this japanese sauce??

Question

It looks like a plum color, definitely has a soy base, and was served in a restaurant underneath vegetables and rice. It is vegetarian, by the way. It might not be japanese but the restaurant called it that. Recipes would be great!

PLUM SAUCE

6 large plums, pitted and peeled

1/2 cup applesauce

1/2 cup peanut oil

1/3 cup light soy sauce

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup dry white wine

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2-inch c***k ginger, peeled (optional)

2 tablespoons sugar

Remove skins from plums by dipping in boiling water for 1 minute or until skin breaks; cool immediately by dipping in ice water or running under cold tap water. Remove pits and discard.

Cook's Note: This is an optional step but yields a more professional result. (Skins may be left on if you don't mind them).

Combine all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to very low and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Use sauce for basting or serve as an accompaniment for dipping.

Answer 4

Tonkatsu sauce?  

Traditionally, tonkatsu sauce is served with breaded pork or chicken.  But, many local Japanese restaurants in my neck of the woods also serve it with veg & rice.

I love tonkatsu sauce with everything.  It's a little sweet, definitely tart.  Just a lovely savory sauce!

Answer 6

Yeah must be plum sauce.

Answer 7

i think that what you are looking for is hoisin sauce.   no it isn't japanese, it is actually chinese.  but its soy based, plum colored, vegetarian and slightly sweet/spicy.  very delicious! also very commonly used in many chinese dishes, but its made its way over to many asian restaurants.  i have never tried making it at home because it is super cheap and tasty, and readily available at any local asian market, or even  occasionally the grocery store.  but there are recipes out there.

good luck!
