Ketjap manis is thousand island dressing! Get it? Ketchup-mayonnaise?... Just kidding... I'm so ridiculously bored at my job so i have to come up with corny jokes to pass the time. This is an excerpt from epicurious.com: [Ketjap manis is] an intensely dark brown, syrupy-thick Indonesian sauce similar to, but with a sweeter, more complex flavor than, soy sauce. Kecap manis is sweetened with palm sugar and seasoned with various ingredients, which generally include garlic and star anise. Its used in marinades, as a flavoring in various Indonesian dishes and as a condiment. Kecap manis can be found in Asian markets.

P.S. For a substitute, I suppose you could simmer in a little sauce pan soy sauce, a little brown sugar, whole star anise, and garlic cloves until it reduces to a slightly thicker sauce and the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove the anise and garlic and it should be ready to go! By the way, this recipe looks delicious and I'm definitely going to try it soon!
