The viscous Ketjap Manis sauce is very suitable as a basic seasoning for various dishes - both vegetable and rice dishes and dishes with fish and meat are given an aromatic, slightly sweetish note by the sauce. The sweet soy sauce makes an excellent dip. The taste of the viscous soy sauce Ketjap Manis is salty but at the same time mild and sweet due to the sugar used in it.

It is recommended to season the dishes only at the end with Ketjap Manis, because it burns easily. The sauce is not recommended for marinating and later roasting, as it burns too easily. Instead, add the Ketjap Manis sauce just before serving. Ketjap Manis is very good for seasoning.

The soy sauce Ketjap Asin is thinner in consistency than Ketjap Manis and has a salty, bitter-sweet note. It resembles Japanese soy sauce, but is rarely used.
