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.
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.
