What’s something you add to (most of) your dishes that gives it a signature taste or a special kick?
I like to throw a pinch of chicken bouillon in a lot of different dishes, sometimes in lieu of salt or in addition to. The bouillon I use also has onion, garlic, and paprika so it gives everything a subtle but welcome kick.
Soy Sauce.
If it’s savory dish I always add a splash or two. It’s extra salt and umami to everything. I love it
Have you tried Maggi seasoning? It’s similar to soy sauce, but has a wider flavor profile compared to soy sauce. It’s basically a bottle of concentrated MSG with herbal and spiced flavors.
Edit: Actually, I take it back. I just found out that Maggi is owned by Nestlé :(. Stay away.
I have not. I just always have soy sauce so it’s my go to. I also like to add fish sauce for similar reasons but that’s more specific.
Also oyster and hoisin sauce!
Love those!!! I do like to put hoisin in my burgers. They are too Asian spice coded for all dishes which is soy sauce is not.
Bragg Liquid Aminos as an alternative with similar flavor profile.
