How to Make Sweet Soy Sauce (Thin & Thick Consistency) 

Hi Laura, appreciate your feedback, thank you! :)

haven't tried doing that but it seems like a good idea :)

:) try to make some, thanks Drew

thank you Richelle for your kind feedback, really appreciate it :)

how long does it last?

@Wa9ila Idk at room temp it can last for a week or so but it can last longer (1 month) if stored in the ref after each use

@@CookingforInspiration thank you so much!

thank you Ferry, nice to see you here☺

so how was it? its been 5 months

So how it is? It's been a year

Hi Khadiza I think you can add some, just take into consideration that fish sauce is salty too, and it might affect the taste. Really happy to hear that your sauce turned out perfect, thank you for trying this recipe :)

Hi there, I have the ingredients & measurements for the thin & thick consistency sauce on the description box, kindly check it out, and thank you so much for the support, really appreciate it! :)

Thanks Carmen :)

you're right, I probably used twice or more of that amount for this recipe

it won't alexei

@@CookingforInspiration i commented this while the sauce is on the stove😭 i still didn't have the cornstarch, but i found out that sugar does the trick well enough though. My friends loved it! Thanks for this video nonetheless🩷

@@alexei9122 nice to hear you were able to figure out how to make it work for you 👍

My first answer would have been no because the meat would burn easily because of the sugar in the marinade & tocino has annatto powder for its red color, but I was thinking if you would cook the marinated meat in the same manner as you would with tocino especially with longer-to-cook meat like pork belly, ribs or cheeks (boiling & simmering in water until liquid evaporates & letting the meat fry in its own oil) then it would probably mimic the sweetness & tenderness of tocino or another way is to pan fry lightly seasoned meat & just add the sweet soy sauce as a sauce for the meat. Thanks Aleckz, really glad to see you here!

Hi Violeta, really happy to hear your business is doing great, thank you so much for trying this recipe, god bless!

@@CookingforInspiration ❤ God bless po and more power to u ❤

Hi po ano po ginamit nyo sa siomai sauce, yung thick??

Hi Emma not sure if this sauce is comparable to Chinese caramel sauce, although both are sweet, I guess there's a difference in the cooking method & some ingredients☺. It's really nice that LKK have a wide variety of excellent sauces👍really appreciate your feedback, thank you so much☺

no worries Abdelrahman :)

I guess u can use this as a substitute🙂

Thank u for quick reply for sure im goin to try this🥰

hello there, I believe it's actually asking for dark soy sauce which is unsweetened & can be bought in stores, while kecap manis is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce & this recipe I have here is also sweet soy sauce

@@CookingforInspiration Thank you for the prompt response. May I know if this soy sauce is super sweet if using silver swan? Thank you!

@@cjhayemata7901 just the right amount of sweet for my taste, but u can increase sweetness by adding more sugar while cooking if you'd like to :)

Hi Rexcel Anne, I'm sorry I really don't know if their taste is similar, haven't tried the sauce you've mentioned, what I can tell you is that this recipe here is a bit sweet & salty, maybe you can give it a try :), thanks for dropping by!

hi there, I don't know if this is what they use for popiah, you can give it a try though :)

@@CookingforInspiration Thanks a lot !

no problem :)

1403chocolate: I used gula melaka,light soya sauce and conrflour for popiah sauce

hi kam shaft, really appreciate you sharing that info, thank you :)

can last for at least a month as long as it's kept in the refrigerator after each use

good day to you too, Paul! I'm not sure if this is what they use on their fried rice, but you can absolutely use this sauce in place of regular soy sauce on fried rice & other dishes. Thanks a lot for dropping by! :)

By the way what is the size of cup used on this video?

hi paul, I've used the regular measuring cup for cooking :)

thank you Judy, love the feedback

Hi Mel pwedeng dipping sauce yong thin consistency para dyan meron din akong ginawang quicker version nito : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eXYWKtjsULo.html thanks for dropping by :)

Thank you so much po. 🤗

you're welcome Mel :)

I usually use the thin consistency as a dipping sauce or as basting sauce for BBQs, while with the thick consistency I use it to flavor other dishes although it can also be used as a dipping sauce but I use less since it has been reduced(concentrated) so it is a bit more salty & sweet

hi @Pratik Vishwakarma not sure if you can but if wheat flour has the ability to thicken liquid like corn starch does, you can give it a try :)

hi Jhorelyn pwede itong sawsawan para sa mga iyan (yung thin consistency) ang sauce na to ay matamis na maalat ng kunti, pwede syang magtagal ng mga isang buwan kung ilalagay sa ref pagkatapos gamitin :)

Hi @Bob Gary you can try dark soy sauce

hope to hear from you soon :)

@@CookingforInspiration it's very good Is it bad that my first thought was to marinate meat in it?

you can use it as a marinade but only 1 or 2 tbsp along with the other seasoning because if you use this solely as your marinade, the meat you are frying or grilling will burn easily because of the sugar. Great to hear that your sauce turned out very good, thank you!

@@CookingforInspiration thanks for the info, I'm glad i found this video

@@CookingforInspiration question, how long does this last?

Hi John Michael, I can't think of any substitute for its taste & aroma :)

@@CookingforInspiration so cinnamon powder is just for flavour correct ?

@@andrewstructo641 that's right Andrew but I guess it is what makes this sauce taste the way it is

Hi Omar, just dissolve the cornstarch in water completely (ex: 1 tbsp starch to 2 tbsp water) before adding to the mixture to prevent that & keep stirring the mixture, thanks :)

@@CookingforInspiration Thank you, will do

@snow snow it's ok to use white sugar but use less, maybe start with 1 1/2 cups white sugar instead of 2 cups brown sugar, just adjust later according to your taste

Oh okay thank you so much

@jekha cloe I haven't tried using flour for this sauce but I think you can use flour as a thickener for the sauce, just thoroughly mix the flour with water before adding in slowly to avoid lumps & don't add all in 1 go & keep stirring Maybe you can experiment with just half of the ingredients & see how it goes :) BTW if you only want dipping sauce for dimsum or siomai, the thin consistency soy sauce (which doesn't require corn starch) would be more ideal .Thanks for dropping by :)

@@CookingforInspiration omg thank youuuuuuu

@@CookingforInspiration im planning to use it to season my handmade ramen noodles

@jekha cloe oh wow! that is really good to know, I hope it works out nicely for you :)

@@chloe-xo3ly did flour work out for u?

thanks for your input, will keep that in mind

Hi @Afsana Katun the brand I’ve used (Silver Swan Soy Sauce) doesn't really indicate whether it is dark or light soy. I’d say go for dark soy, just adjust ingredients (water or soy or sugar) while cooking to suit your taste.

@@CookingforInspiration thank you so much...

@@afsanakhatun6520 my pleasure, thanks too :)

pwede hanggang 1 month kung ilagay mo sa ref after each use, shake mo na lang bottle kasi minsan lumalapot pag matagal nakaimbak

hi @Fluster Cuck ref would be fine, thanks for the kind words :)

@@CookingforInspiration thank you so much! 🥰

hi robin, I kept mine in the ref, it's been a month now & sauce is still ok, thanks for your comment :)

@@CookingforInspiration hi, any chance it goes for almost 6 months of a shelf life ?

@@norrintomjimmy hi, not sure about that, the most I can suggest is 1 month (kept in the ref after each use)

@@CookingforInspiration ohhh, okay then I can try making a bit less in the portions, thank you for the reply :).

hi @GamingEx, I have an old video for the recipes for sweet & sour and sweet & spicy dipping sauces here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aktAAIlpqYc.html thanks for dropping by :)

hi Edjalyn, pwede ito sa siomai (thin consistency)

Hi pork, sorry to hear about that, I suppose you added more sugar than what was suggested? if you find it too sweet you can add more water & adjust the soy sauce to suit your taste, thanks for coming by :)

hi there, importante yong cinnamon powder para ma-achieve yong distinctive taste nya :)

for me, I like the added flavor the cinnamon powder imparts to the sauce, but it really is a matter of personal preference, appreciate your feedback🙂

Huhuu Cinnamon 🤮🤮🤮🤮
