Curious, here is an explanation of it and it says you can sub with soy sauce and palm sugar >

Thanks cheezz, I'd have to hunt for both of those, might as well get the black soy.

You have to hunt for soy sauce??! My goodness, where do you live?!

 

[curious1]

I was referring to your link which lists blackstrap molasses. I went to the Asian store and was

told to buy kecap manis, which I did but now realize that's not the right thing. Also the recipe calls for sugar as well and I'm wondering if the black soy means dark soy. For now, I'm just forgetting the whole thing unless I can do research and find out what "black soy" in this recipe means. And now I need to go looking for something to use the kecap manis in, or return it.

Black soy is a sweet soy sauce and I believe that kecap manis

is perfectly good substitute. It's basically Indonesia's version of sweet soy. I say use it.

Thanks Orchid, I can try it without the sugar first. And thanks so much for the link! More recipes

there from FC for using the kecap manis. And that's the brand I bought.
