The umami and salty flavors can help temper the sweetness of a rich dessert.
Calamansi is a tiny Philippine fruit that tastes like a hybrid of lemon, lime, and orange. As a kid, the combination of freshly squeezed calamansi juice and patis was my favorite sawsawan to add to lugaw—a Filipino rice porridge similar to congee. Used in tandem with patis, it’s a wonderfully sour and salty blend.
In my mind, the perfect recipe is about striking a balance in flavor across the spectrum of our five tastes, and experimenting with the umami and salty aspects of patis can help temper the sweetness of a rich dessert. The key to using the condiment effectively is achieving the right ratios so that the ingredient doesn’t overpower the other elements of your cakes, caramels, and cookies.Photo by Joseph De Leo, Food Styling by Stevie Stewart, the patis comes into play in the glaze.
