Let's a make an Indonesian staple from scratch! Kecap manis is a sweet, fragrant, and thick soy sauce that's used in a ton of Indonesian dishes. Many people believe "kecap" was also the original inspiration for "ketchup".
Outside Asia, it's tough to find in grocery stores, but it's super easy to make your own! We use it to take our Balinese ribs, nasi goring and other rice dishes to the next level.
