Kecap manis is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce, thicker and more syrupy than regular soy sauce, with a delightful sweetness. You can find it at most supermarkets, grocery stores, or your local Asian grocer. Some brands might simply label it as "Sweet Soy Sauce." - CHINESE COOKING WINE
Also known as Shaoxing wine, it can be found in the Asian section of many large supermarkets, gourmet food stores, or Asian grocers. If unavailable, you can substitute it with dry sherry, mirin, sake, or, for a non-alcoholic option, chicken stock. - KEWPIE MAYONNAISE
Kewpie mayo is a Japanese mayonnaise renowned for its umami-rich and tangy-sweet flavour. You can find it in supermarkets, grocery stores, online, or at your local Asian grocer. It's a superior mayonnaise that truly elevates this recipe. Don't skip it! - NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
