Also called Indonesian sweet soy, apparently. We needed it for the Indonesian noodle salad, so Google obliged (hence the American cup measurement).
You'll need:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark treacle
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Stick the water and dark brown sugar in a saucepan, and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, and then keep on a high heat for 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat again, and chuck in the rest of the ingredients. Stir until everything's dissolved, and then simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Decant into a jar - it'll keep in the fridge for 2-3 months. It's rather good as a dipping sauce, and it's even better if you have it with a little lime juice.
