Wow, this will be a staple in my cupboard, it is delicious! Made it just as written using 1/2 cup brown sugar. The flavors are amazing. I did let mine sit for about 24 hours before straining. I have been using on breakfast noodles with leftover veg and blanched greens with chili crisp. Can’t believe it took me this long to try the recipe.

Would this be a good substitute for dark soy sauce? I am gluten free and it is hard to find gf dark soy sauce where I am. Just thinking out loud since this sweetened soy sauce is very dark in color.

In reply to Karin.

No. They are not the same, Karin! Cao guo, or Chinese cardamom, is a species of black cardamom related to Indian black cardamom but subtly different in look and flavor. You can get it via https://themalamarket.com/products/cao-guo-chinese-black-cardamom.

In reply to Elaine. Is Cao Guo and "Seeds of Paradise" the same thing? Apparently they both tase a bit like peppery cardamom, but I have never had either so I don't know. I can get Seeds of Paradise, but no one here knows what Cao Guo is, so it might be the same. Do you know?

In reply to Evelien. Add a very small batch of starch, Evelien!! I know some of the restaurants use this method.

Hi Elaine,
First of all: i love your site and the recipes!!!
I have a question. I made the sweetend soy sauce today . It tastes amazing. But i thougt it would get a little bit thicker so it stucks better to the noodles. Is there a way to make it a littlr bit stickier?
