What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

what's MSG?

Monosodium glutamate. Makes things taste more savory. Also causes furries to make in-jokes about family unfriendly topics.

MSG is the king of flavor!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Basically a salt that triggers pure umami flavor. It's an easy add for dishes where you don't want to use another umami booster like worcestershire or fish sauce.
