Ketjap Manis Sweet Soy Sauce

Indonesia’s Beloved Sweet Soy Sauce — Rich, Dark & Irresistible

Ketjap Manis is Indonesia’s most iconic condiment — a thick, sweet soy sauce made from fermented soybeans and palm sugar, slow-cooked to develop a rich, molasses-like depth with a beautifully balanced sweetness. Once you have it in your kitchen, it becomes an indispensable flavour-builder across Asian and fusion cooking.

Serving Ideas

The essential ingredient for Nasi Goreng (Indonesian fried rice) and Bami Goreng (fried noodles). Use as a marinade for chicken satay, pork ribs, and grilled beef. Drizzle over steamed rice, dumplings, and spring rolls as a dipping sauce. Stir into stir-fries for a glossy, caramelised finish. Also excellent as a glaze for roasted meats and vegetables.
