Sweet Soya Sauce [General]
2010 Nov 13
I purchased mine at T&T. Be sure that the bottle says Kecap Manis - there are other sweet soya sauces and they taste nothing like the Indonesian one. My favorite dish with this is Pork with Sweet Soya Sauce. Haven't made it in a while, think I will put it on the menu for this week. Thanks for the reminder!

momomoto - do you have a recipe for nasi goreng? i made some this weekend and it was fantastic, it called for a dark soya sauce. i only had light, so i used that and it was still really good, but i'd like to try it with the sweet sauce next time. also, what type of rice works best? we were just using what we had on hand, which was leftover brown basmati.

Confession time! The only time I've made nasi goreng is using the boxed spice mixes from the Dutch Grocery store :) That having been said, it was way decent.
I think that basmati would work just fine: I'm not sure how much of basmati's flavour/aroma are preserved once the rice is fried, but better that than having to go and buy a specific bag of rice.

We use lots of Kecap Manis - usually the ABC brand, but have tried others - what ever is at the asian grocery. We use it in stir fries - with a bit of hoisin, or with noodles - it was great with some Shanghai noodles I made on the weekend, with chicken and shanghai bok choi. I never have it in the fridge, it keeps no problem for under a year.
