KETJAP BENTENG MANIS Sweet soy sauce, 1L

Thick, dark, and deeply sweet — Ketjap Manis is the soul of Indonesian cooking and one of the most versatile condiments in any kitchen. If you have never cooked with it, you are missing a flavour that transforms everything it touches.

What makes it different

Unlike regular soy sauce, Ketjap Benteng Manis has a syrup-like consistency and a rich sweetness from molasses, caramel, and sugar, balanced by the depth of naturally fermented soybeans and aromatic spices. Originating in Indonesia, it has been a staple of Southeast Asian cuisine for generations and is now widely used across European kitchens for its unique ability to add colour, sweetness, and umami in a single ingredient.

How to use it

Use it as a marinade for grilled meats, poultry, and fish — it caramelises beautifully on the grill or in a pan. Stir it into nasi goreng, babi pangang, or satay sauce, or use it as a glaze for roasted vegetables and ribs. It also works as a dipping sauce or a finishing drizzle over rice dishes and noodles.
