Kecap Manis (Reduced-Sugar)

Kecap Manis (Reduced-Sugar) is an Indonesian sweet soy condiment used to add a glossy, caramelized sweet-savory flavor to marinades, stir-fries and dipping sauces. It’s a thicker, sweeter version of soy sauce that’s common in Southeast Asian cooking and often used sparingly as a finishing or flavoring ingredient. In nutrition terms, this reduced-sugar version still delivers the concentrated flavor of typical kecap manis but remains high in sodium — it contains 12g of salt per 100g — so small amounts go a long way. It contributes modest amounts of protein and very little fat or fiber. Because it’s a concentrated sweet-salty condiment used in small quantities, treat it as a flavoring rather than a staple: swap to lower-sodium soy sauces when you need a regular soy flavor, and use kecap manis sparingly to control overall salt and sugar in a dish.Read more
