Kecap Manis, 600ml

Description

Kecap manis (sometimes written ketjap manis) is a treacly sweet, thick, Indonesian variety of soy sauce. It still has distinctive salty-fermented notes, but is sweetened with palm sugar, and has far stronger flavours than traditional Chinese soy sauce.

Kecap manis resembles molasses in its consistency, meaning that it is often served as a condiment. It is also used as a cooking ingredient in traditional South East Asian dishes, particularly stir fries such as nasi goreng or to flavour tongseng meat stews.

Ingredients: sugar, soy sauce (12%)(Contains soybean, wheat) water, salt, colour (Caramel), Preservative (Sodium Benzoate), Stabiliser ((Xanthan Gum), Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid).

Allergy Advice: for allergens see ingredients in bold. May contain sulphites.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
