Comparing Homemade Worcestershire Sauce with Bull-Dog Worcestershire Sauce
▲Left: Homemade / Right: What I bought
The left one is homemade Worcestershire sauce, and the right is the one I bought at store.
The homemade sauce has slightly lighter color than the one I bought.
The taste, most importantly, is very good. I think it would be great substitute for Worcestershire sauce. The sweetness of apple juice and the subtle sourness from vinegar are great, and soy sauce make up for the umami (delicious taste) which is crucial part of real Worcestershire sauce.
Even though the spice I used was only white pepper, it could create excellent spicy taste. Probably the taste would be better if you add more various types of spices.
Homemade Worcestershire sauce is very watery. So, if you want more thicker texture like the tonkatsu sauce, please add just a little bit of cornstarch or potato starch to thicken the sauce. But, be careful about the amount, otherwise too much of them could make the sauce too thick and bad.
