question

Is there anything I could subsitute the ketchup for to accommodate a tomato allergy? Or a different sauce that would go well with it?

Okonomi sauce is v similar to Worcestershire sauce, sweeter. Worcestershire sauce is anchovy based and okonomi sauce is mainly dates. You could use Worcester sauce and add sugar?

tip

The pork can be substituted with a veggie option, like a Quorn sausage.
