Kecap is not ketchup. Heard same, but of course it’s definitely different. Ketchup is a sauce created from tomato, but kecap is a sauce created from soy. Kecap is black colored.
There are two kinds of kecap, sweet kecap and salty kecap. Sweet kecap use sugar and little bit of salt, and salty kecap not use any sugar but use salt.
It’s quite simple to know which one is sweet or salty kecap. Hehe, of course with taste it, but there’s another way. The sweet kecap is thick liquid. The salty kecap is like water. So, if you want to check it before cooking, just shake it softly a while.
There are some ways to using kecap. You can use it for cooking, or directly pour onto the food.
In Indonesia I like using two brand of kecap.
Kecap ABC, its taste good for topping of the food. This kecap isn’t too sweet.
Kecap Bango, this kecap has good black color, but too sweet. But if you use it for cooking, your food will looks… looks… fashionable, hehehe… :-p
