Salt. people don’t use enough salt.
A little cinnamon is great on chicken or in rice.
When I’m making vegetable soup, I usually add some balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and MSG. The acid and umami make the soup taste more balanced and hearty. I hope it’s helpful!
When I make French toast, I add a little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to the egg batter.
Soy sauce in lieu of salt, for pretty much anything liquidy. Gravy, soup, pasta sauce, what have you.
100%! Why have just salt when you can have salt and umami!
I also put a little soy sauce in the beaten egg mixture for omelette or scrambled eggs :)
Marmite in stews
That stuff is basically pure msg, so a spoon full in a pot will add a whole lot of taste without making it taste like marmite
I don’t like the stuff of toast, but it’s nice to have a glass around for cooking
msg - makes shit good
I put a little ginger in just about everything.
Grilled meat. Ginger.
Brownies. Ginger
Pasta
Yeah a little ginger in that too. Why not.
Tea. Yeah a little sprinkle.
Green tea is great with freshly cut ginger in it.
You had me up until sprinkle…
I put layers of sliced zucchini in my lasagna. No need to precook them.
Fennel.
I prefer a splodge of mustard in my potato salad. And I second the suggestion of adding garlic to most everything, including veggie soup.
Anchovies
I put garlic in just about everything. Probably not really a secret ingredient, but it does go with just about everything
For soup I like to add turmeric for the colour. Also kinda tasty
What kind of phycopath does not add garlic to everything. 🤣
My friend has an ice cream maker and I keep begging her to make me some garlic ice cream.
Turmeric in chicken noodle soup is my go to…and some msg too
Little bit of vinegar and MSG will liven things up in many cases
Boullion and smoke seasoning. Boullion makes the meat, especially chicken taste more well rounded. Smoke season I will add when using an indoor grill/skillet and it will really taste like it was done on an open flame.
I have a black eyed peas soup recipe with a secret ingredient. For every pound of peas I use I add 2 pounds of pork.
This is the way
