Organic Sweet Ketjap Shoyu Soy Sauce — Fermented 4-6 Months, Thai Spices, 200ml

Elevate your Asian dishes with Autour du Riz Organic Sweet Ketjap Shoyu Soy Sauce: 200ml of Thai condiment sauce crafted with family expertise, naturally fermented for 4 to 6 months from organic soy and fair-trade Thai rice, delicately flavored with cloves, cumin, ginger, and star anise. Certified organic, GOÛM-validated (free from 500 ultra-processed ingredients), and naturally gluten-free. The benchmark sweet-and-savory umami sauce for Asian cuisine.

Why long fermentation makes all the difference

The natural 4-to-6-month fermentation of soy with Aspergillus oryzae creates an aromatic complexity impossible to replicate through accelerated fermentation: the development of free amino acids (glutamate responsible for umami), the breakdown of complex soy sugars into simple sugars that caramelize when cooked, and the production of aromatic esters that give Ketjap its depth. The 4 spices (clove, cumin, ginger, star anise) add their polyphenols and aromatic terpenes for a distinctive olfactory signature. The result: a sauce that caramelizes, glazes, and flavors all at once.

Benefits and uses of Sweet Ketjap Shoyu Soy Sauce

• Exceptional culinary versatility: dipping sauce for sushi, maki, spring rolls, and gyoza (dilute slightly); caramelizing marinade for tofu, chicken, or grilled fish; wok base for sautéed vegetables and rice; Asian vinaigrette (with sesame oil and lime juice); glossy glaze for skewers and pork ribs.
• Rich and natural umami profile: the long soy fermentation naturally develops free amino acids—notably glutamate—responsible for the 5th taste, umami. No artificial flavor enhancers (MSG) are necessary. Ketjap sauce naturally carries the depth of flavor that industrial sauces try to replicate chemically.
• Organic, fair-trade, and GOÛM-validated: 100% of ingredients are organic, 24% are Fair for Life fair-trade (soy and Thai rice). The sauce has been validated by GOÛM—a standard that bans nearly 500 ultra-processed ingredients—guaranteeing a composition as close to homemade as possible. Planet-score B.
