What is Kecap Manis?

Kecap Manis is Indonesia's iconic thick sweet soy sauce — the word "ketchup" actually traces its etymology back to "kecap." Unlike regular soy sauce, it's viscous, molasses-like, and delivers umami, sweetness, color, and saltiness all in one bottle. ABC's medium sweet version hits the sweet spot: rich enough to glaze and caramelize, balanced enough for everyday cooking.

How to Use

• 🍳 Nasi Goreng & Mie Goreng: The defining seasoning for Indonesian fried rice and fried noodles — add a tablespoon at the end of stir-frying for the signature savory-sweet gloss
• 🍖 Satay marinade & glaze: Mix with garlic, ginger, and lime juice for a classic chicken or pork satay marinade — the sugars caramelize beautifully over the grill
• 🍜 Stir-fries & noodles: A spoonful unifies all the flavors and gives dishes their signature dark gloss — works with any protein or vegetable
• 🥟 Dipping sauce: Mix with sliced shallots, bird's eye chili, and lime for classic Indonesian Sambal Kecap
• 🍲 Braises & stews: The primary seasoning for Indonesian Semur (beef stew) — creates a deeply flavored, sweet-savory braising liquid
• 🌷3 Simple drizzle: Over fried eggs, steamed rice, or grilled meats for an instant umami-sweet upgrade

💡 Pro tip: Its sugar content means it caramelizes quickly over high heat — add towards the end of cooking to prevent burning, or use lower heat for glazing.
