UFC Filipino Style Spaghetti Sauce 250 g is a product that captures the essence of Filipino cuisine, offering its characteristic, sweet approach to the Italian classic. This is a ready-made sauce, created to prepare the much-loved Filipino Style Spaghetti – a dish known for its intense sweetness and unique additions. UFC is one of the leading food manufacturers in the Philippines, and their spaghetti sauce is particularly valued for its authentic, smooth taste. Unlike traditional Italian sauces, this product focuses on a high sugar content (10 g per 100 g) and an additional sweetener – aspartame (E951). This is typical of Filipino culinary preferences, where sweet-and-sour flavours dominate. The flavour profile of the UFC sauce is exceptionally rich and complex: Sweetness and Acidity: Balanced by a combination of sugar, aspartame, and cane vinegar (E330). Umami and Richness: Achieved through the addition of flavour enhancer E621 and flavourings mimicking beef and butter tastes, which is crucial for achieving a "meaty" undertone. Unique Accent: The sauce also contains a cheese flavouring, which directly references the way Filipino Style Spaghetti is served, often featuring yellow cheese as a key ingredient. Spices: Despite the sweetness, the sauce is not bland – the presence of oregano, black pepper, onion, garlic, and red chili pepper adds aroma and a very mild piquancy. The sauce has a smooth and uniform texture, provided by modified wheat starch. The product is entirely fat-free (0 g fat and saturated fatty acids) and protein-free (0 g protein per 100 g), which should be considered when composing a diet. The high salt content (2.1 g per 100 g) enhances the flavour. The UFC 250 g sauce is ready for direct use. It is ideal as a base for a stew; simply add ground meat, sliced hot dogs, and cheese. It is an excellent choice for those who want to explore the Asian version of classic spaghetti or simply seek a sweeter sauce for their favourite dishes.
