Treat your ingredients with care...

• Calamansi juice — If you can't find fresh calamansi, you can use a mixture of lime and orange juice as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

• For a thicker sauce, increase the amount of flour to 3 tablespoons.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add more calamansi juice for a tangier flavor or soy sauce for a saltier taste.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little more chicken stock or water.

Presentation advice

Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of chopped scallions or a drizzle of calamansi juice for a pop of color. Serve the sauce in a small bowl or pour it over the main dish for an elegant presentation.
