Thanks!
Gonna give it a try as mine is finished.
I get by with soy sauce and molasses.
Ginger & garlic are normally in the meal already, so thats why I wouldn't miss them.
I wouldn't have figured out the star anise. Never picked that up

The ginger, garlic and star anise certainly add an aromatic touch. I love this stuff!

This is great, thankyou. Never crossed my mind I could make my own gluten free ketjap manis. What a revelation!
