Yes RNA! Well, at least the one I am talking about is Golden Mountain brand and the ingredients says
Flavor enhancer (Disodium 5’ - ribonucleotides)
It’s basically the remnants of broken down proteins which gives it the umami taste. I would say kecap manis might work as a sub, or maybe make a caramel simple syrup and mix it around 1:1 with a light soy sauce or tamari.
RNA like… DNA? I haven’t used Thai soy sauce before, it sounds like a lighter kecap manis, could that be a substitute?

Sounds cool! I’ll keep an eye out for it next time I’m shopping
