One question. . .what is the 'thick soy' in this recipe. I've never heard of it. Thanks! Re: sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce for Lumpia - mjkcooking - 08-14-2007 Hi the brand i have is" Koon Chun " Thick Soy Sauce it a 16 oz jar. (it is very dark and thick and sweet) I think you could either leave it out - or perhaps use bean molasses as a sub.( I think the sauce adds to the recipe) I get it at a oriental grocery store - or in china town. Most grocery stores do not carry it but you could always ask for a special order. Re: sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce for Lumpia - labradors - 08-14-2007 Quote: Gesundheit. Re: sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce for Lumpia - cjs - 08-14-2007 Thick soy sauce - is also called Kecap Manis. It's molasses thick but tastes quite different. Most supermarkets carry it - my brand is "ABC" Definition: Kecap manis is a sweetish, thick soy sauce made with palm sugar and seasoned with star anise and garlic. A popular tool of Indonesian cooks, it can be used as a dip, and some people like to use it as a substitute for dark soy sauce in recipes.

Now to find the sauce- PJ Re: sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce for Lumpia - Barbarainnc - 08-15-2007 This is from a resturant that sells lumpia. It is equal amounts of sugar, vinegar and banana ketchup. Thats it!!! No cooking just mix up to dissolve the sugar. It is so good on lumpia. |
