Sweeter and thicker than soy sauce, ketjap manis is typically used in Indonesian cuisine. This condiment is a staple in our Asian style recipes and you can find it in anything from larb style salads to fried rice and noodle dishes.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
