How to Make Indonesian Barbecue Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the kecap manis, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, palm sugar, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, chilies, and lime juice until well combined.
  2. Allow the sauce to sit for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. This step is crucial for the best taste!
  3. Before grilling, generously marinate your chosen protein (meat, tofu, or vegetables) in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better!
  4. Grill your marinated ingredients to your desired level of doneness, basting frequently with the remaining sauce during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of Indonesian flavors!
