How to Make Ketjap Manis
- Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup water in a 2-quart saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Increase the heat to high and cook, using a candy thermometer, until the syrup reaches 200°F (93°C), about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in 1 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, for extra umami), and 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional, for deeper color).
- Simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 months.
