Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. Sugar
  • 21 ounce Soy sauce, Chinese dark - 2 3/4 c.
  • 3 x Cloves Garlic, Mashed
  • 1/2 tsp Star Anise pods
  • 2 x Salam leaves
  • 2 piece Laos (galangal)
  • 1/2 c. Water

Directions

  1. Carmelize the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
  2. When sugar has melted, add in the soy sauce & all the other ingredients.
  3. Bring to a boil, & stir till the sugar has dissolved completely. Cook over low heat for 10 min.
  4. Allow this somewhat thickened syrup to cold, & pour it into one or possibly more bottles. Author says not to strain the sauce as believes the garlic, anise, salam & laos continue to provide flavor. Keeps for several months refrigerated.
  5. Makes about 2 3/4 c.. Notes: can often purchase this, sometimes under "Conimex" label, Ketjap Benteng Manis.
