Tag: Sweet sauce

According to nutritional data from various recipe sites, a single serving of homemade Filipino spaghetti can contain between 9 and 27 grams of sugar, depending heavily on the recipe. This high sugar content is a defining characteristic of Filipino spaghetti, setting it apart from its Italian counterpart and reflecting a regional preference for sweeter flavors.

The sweetness of eel sauce, also known as unagi sauce, is a key flavor component. It is a balanced blend of sweet and savory notes. Eel sauce gets its distinctive taste from a reduction of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
