Sweet Soy Sauce
Sweet soy sauce, also known as kecap manis, is a thick, dark Indonesian condiment made by reducing regular soy sauce with palm sugar or molasses. This viscous sauce has a distinctively rich, caramel-like sweetness balanced with savory umami notes, making it significantly less salty than traditional soy sauce. Its syrupy consistency and complex flavor profile make it particularly well-suited for glazing, marinades, and as a finishing sauce in Asian cuisine.
