Feathered by the Sunlight--Kecap Manis in Wlingi

Kecap manis being produced in a home in Wlingi, East Java.  This operation was even smaller than Bu Evie’s, with a single wood burning stove in a room at the side of the owner's house.  The whole house was rich with the perfume of kecap manis.  Shafts of light poured through the atap roof illuminating the room where the kecap was being cooked.
 
To fully enjoy this post, heat up some kecap manis until its fragrance fills the room.
