Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Ketjap Manis along with all the Ketjap Manis containing recipes presented on this site, with 1 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Ketjap Manis recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Ketjap Manis as a major wild food ingredient.

Ketjap Manis (also known as kecap manis) is similar to a very dark and rich soy sauce but it's sweeter in flavour. It is generally used in marinades, as a condiment or as an ingredient in Indonesian cooking.

Unlike soy sauce it contains palm sugar and may have other flavourings such as garlic and star anise. Ketjap Mais is the ancestor of all ketchups and the name 'ketchup' is derived from this sauce.
