‘Kecap Manis’ (sweet soy sauce) is one of the essential sauce in Indonesian cuisine. It is a sweetened aromatic soy sauce, originating from Indonesia, which has a dark color, a thick syrup consistency, and a unique, pronounced, sweet and somewhat mollasses-like flavor due to the generous addition of palm sugar. This condiment is made of a fermented paste of boiled black soybeans, roasted grain, salt, water, and Aspergillus wentil molds, to which palm sugar is added. It is very easy to get it as it’s available in most of the supermarkets especially in the Asian grocery stores (source: Wikipedia) I’ll show you how I use this special sweet sauce in most of my Indonesian recipes 😊

#mycookbookI am a porridge ‘super’ big fan since I was a kid. My mom always cooked me plain porridge with different kinds of side dishes at least 2-3 times a month. This Sweet Soy Sauce Minced Pork is one of the ‘must’ menus every time she made porridge. It doesn’t use a lot of various ingredients but it’s very flavorful 😋😋😋 If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary for the Indonesian recipes or @jenscookdineandtravel for the English recipes 🙏🏻😊😘

This is one of our family's standard sauces.The generous amount of onions used is delicious.It's work to grate the onions, but please persevere.Outside of sweet onion season, please let the sauce rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days before using. Recipe by MyDining

This was a recipe taught to me at the place I worked more than 10 years ago.This recipe works better if you use miso without dashi added. You have to constantly stir the sauce, so I think it is a good idea to make it when you have some spare time. The miso will splatter of the pot and stain your clothes, so I suggest wearing an apron!. Add more sesame oil if you prefer. Recipe by kenken mama

This sauce is so simple and has a million different uses! Try it in a stirfry, as a marinade, on salads, as a dipping sauce and more! If a thin sauce is desired, omit the cornstarch and water from the recipe. Keep in mind that this sauce has a very concentrated flavor, so a little goes a long way.

I modified a recipe I saw on a TV programme.It's useful to make up a big batch of this sauce and store it. It keeps for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. If you are using 3x concentrated mentsuyu, use 4 tablespoons. You can use this sauce for sweet and sour pork, chilli sauce and simmered dishes. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
