Sweet Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis)
Sweet Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis) is a sweet, syrupy Indonesian-style soy sauce made by combining soy with palm sugar (or other sweeteners) and spices; it’s commonly used as a glaze, dipping sauce, or to add a sweet-savory finish to stir-fries and marinades. Nutritionally it is notable for being very high in sugar, containing about 70g per 100g, and also delivers a substantial amount of salt, so it’s used in small amounts. From a health perspective, treat it as a flavoring rather than a staple—its sweetness and sodium make it a condiment to use sparingly, though it does contribute modest amounts of minerals such as iron and manganese.
