Lucullus Ketjap Manis 250ml

Ketjap Manis

Lucullus Ketjap Manis 250ml is a traditional Indonesian sweet soy sauce that combines the savoury depth of soy sauce with the rich sweetness of caramelised sugar. Thick, glossy and full of flavour, it is a staple ingredient in Indonesian and Southeast Asian cooking, adding a distinctive sweet-savoury balance to marinades, stir-fries, noodles and grilled dishes.

Its syrup-like consistency makes it ideal for glazing meats, coating vegetables and adding depth to sauces. A small amount can transform everyday dishes, bringing notes of molasses, soy and gentle spice that complement ingredients such as garlic, ginger, chilli and sesame oil. It is equally useful as a dipping sauce ingredient or as a finishing drizzle over rice and noodle dishes.

At i4C, we enjoy using Ketjap Manis in everything from Indonesian-inspired fried rice and satay dishes to sticky chicken marinades and barbecue glazes. It works particularly well alongside gochujang, rice vinegar, and soy-based sauces, making it a versatile addition to any well-stocked kitchen.

Why is Ketjap Manis thicker than regular soy sauce?

Ketjap Manis contains added sugar that is cooked into the sauce, creating its characteristic syrupy texture and allowing it to cling well to ingredients during cooking and glazing.

Which traditional dishes commonly use Ketjap Manis?

Ketjap Manis is widely used in Indonesian favourites such as nasi goreng, mie goreng, satay marinades and grilled meat dishes, where it contributes both colour and flavour.

Can Ketjap Manis be used outside Southeast Asian cooking?

Yes. Its balance of sweetness and umami makes it useful in barbecue sauces, burger glazes, roasted vegetables, slow-cooked meats and even salad dressings where extra depth of flavour is desired.
