Indonesian soy sauce

Yield: 1 Batch

Ingredients:

• 2 Bottles Regular Soy Sauce*
• 3 Bottles Water
• 4 md Onions - chopped
• 6 Bay Leaves
• 2 ts Laos**
• 1/2 Bag Demerara Sugar

Instructions:

*I use 17 oz. bottles of China Lily (a Canadian Brand) **Laos is also called Gallingal and can be found at Asian food/spice stores. Here's the recipe for Indonesian Soy Sauce which I THINK is called Kecap Manis. And even if it's not you might find some use for it... ;-} Put all the ingredients in a large pot and cook on medium till onions are limp. Add sugar and bring to a boil to dissolve sugar. Strain and pour into bottles. I keep it in the fridge but I don't know if you have to. It's a very sweet Soy Sauce that may take a little getting used to but you will probably find that you can use it for things and not worry about a "salty" taste.
