Originating in Indonesia, ketjap manis is a condiment similar to soy sauce but sweeter, with a thick, syrupy texture. Sometimes referred to as Indonesian ketchup, it’s made with palm sugar and spices for an intense flavour.
It’s delicious in Asian cuisine; ramens, soups and curries, and can be added to stir-fries or used to marinate meat, fish or vegetables.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Although it sounds quite exotic, you should be able to find it in larger supermarkets or online.
