Chef Chie's Notes
Kalamansi is the traditional Tagalog spelling of Calamansi, a small, round citrus fruit native to the Philippines that is used widely in Filipino and Southeast Asian cuisine.
This kalamansi butter sauce is best enjoyed fresh. This is the last step in our meal preparation, often made while the family is already sitting at the table. This recipe is good for one person, but can be doubled, tripled or quadrupled depending on party size. Make sure to microwave your butter into 15-second increments so it doesn't explode.
Chie recommends repurposing a thoroughly washed BPA-free vessel for your homemade kalamansi butter, whether that be a mason jar, Bonne Maman jar, or a glass Pyrex container.
