ULTIMATE UMAMI SEASONING

Umami, which translates from the Japanese as "essence of deliciousness," has become the darling of the flavor world in the past decade, adding a fifth savory element to the four tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty. When I set out to create our own Umami seasoning blend, I knew soy, mushroom, anchovy and garlic needed to be key elements in the flavor profile. The resulting Ultimate Umami Seasoning is as earthy as it is pungent and I often think of the explosion of taste sensations as "bringing on the funk." I invite you to bring on the funk when preparing Asian-inspired stir-frys, noodles, dumplings and vegetables. The seasoning also makes a terrific addition to Caesar salad dressing.
