So, what is ketjap manis?
Ketjap manis is a sweet and thick Indonesian soy sauce that's widely used in Indonesian cuisine. It's made by combining soy sauce, palm sugar, garlic, star anise, and other spices, resulting in a complex, savory, and slightly sweet flavor. The sauce has a deep brown color, and its viscosity is similar to molasses, making it an ideal marinade or dipping sauce for meats, vegetables, and seafood. Ketjap manis is also commonly used as a base for stir-fries, stews, and soups, adding a rich umami flavor to any dish. It's a versatile ingredient that can add depth and complexity to any meal.
