INDONESIAN SWEET SOY SAUCE (KECAP MANIS)



Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis) image

This Indonesian version of soy sauce is thicker, sweeter and more complex than what you're used to. Try sautéeing green beans with ginger and a dash of kecap manis. From EatingWell magazine, July/August 1997 and posted for ZWT6.

This came from "The Indonesian Kitchen". It is easy and tastes better than the store bought as my daughter says. This can be used in recipes or as a dipping sauce all on it's own.
