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.

Soy sauce makes everything better. If there is some kind of sauce or broth just add a little bit. The extra salt and umami flavor elevate everything. Doesn't matter the cuisine. It goes great in burgers

Basically this.

Just add soy sauce. BAM!

Soy sauce is like half your daily salt intake in one serving, unless you buy the low sodium version.

Yup. That's why you add a little to a whole pot. It's a flavor enhancer. Besides anything you make is way less than anything you get premade
