Patsasti

Patsasti is a traditional dish from the Philippines, particularly popular in the Visayas region. It is a type of fried rice that is typically made with glutinous rice, which gives it a sticky and slightly sweet texture. The dish is often prepared with a combination of vegetables, such as carrots, peas, and green beans, which are stir-fried until tender. The rice is then mixed with the vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, and sometimes a touch of vinegar for added flavor. Patsasti is often served as a side dish or a light meal, accompanied by various Filipino condiments like vinegar, calamansi (a small citrus fruit), and chili peppers. It is a versatile dish that can be customized with different ingredients based on availability and personal preference. The dish is known for its simplicity and the use of common ingredients, making it a popular choice for both home cooking and street food.
