This is Indonesian soy sauce; slightly thicker and sweeter than regular soy sauce. If you cannot buy commercial Ketjap manis in your local market, you can follow this recipe. I use it in my Barbecued Roast Beef recipe, for a marinade base, and in spicy peanut sauce.
Ingredients:
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
7 tablespoons dark molasses (treacle for my aussie friends!)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and water in 2 quart saucepan.
2. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly just until sugar dissolves.
3. Increase heat to high and continue cooking until syrup reaches 200 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to low.
5. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer 3 minutes.
6. This will keep 2-3 months tightly covered in the refrigerator.
