Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the dipping sauce.

If you can't find Indonesian sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), you can substitute with regular soy sauce mixed with brown sugar or molasses to taste.

Store leftover dipping sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Warm the peanut sauce slightly for a smoother texture if it's too cold.
