Spices: I like to add a single star-shaped pod of star anise. It adds spice and depth to the sauce without overpowering the sweet, salty soy taste. You can also add a small piece of cinnamon. After the fermentation period, strain the liquid through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer to separate it from the solids. Use these sweet soy sauce alternatives as a 1:1 substitute for shop-bought sweet soy sauce. 1. Homemade kecap manis (the best sweet soy sauce substitute)Set it aside to cool down completely.

Molasses - I use molasses in my kecap manis recipe because I have a hard time finding proper palm sugar. Unless you live in South East Asia, you won't find the proper palm sugar at the proper price either. So, do what I did. The added pure molasses is a great substitute. Combine and heat. Combine ingredients in a small saucepan and stir to dissolve the sugar while you bring the sauce to a low boil over medium-high heat.
