  Here's the recipe for Indonesian Soy Sauce, which I THINK is called
  Kecap Manis.  And even if it's not you might find some use for it...
  ;-}
  
  Put all the ingredients in a large pot and cook on medium till onions
  are limp.  Add sugar and bring to a boil to dissolve sugar.  Strain
  and pour into bottles.  I keep it in the fridge but I don't know if
  you have to.
  
  It's a very sweet Soy Sauce that may take a little getting used to
  but you will probably find that you can use it for things and not
  worry about a "salty" taste.
