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.
