In the "Add a pinch of sugar" thread, many of you mentioned other things you like to add to boost the flavor in your dishes - MSG, tomato powder, soy sauce, etc. What's an ingredient you find that you love to add to dishes to improve the flavor (or aroma, texture, or maybe even the way it looks)?

I am a big fan of mushroom powder. It adds a nice boost of umami with some additional flavor that comes along for the ride. Just throw some dried mushrooms into a spice grinder and grind until powder.

I could see that! I've never had it in chili. I found some at the international market near me recently with lemon that was nice for marinating.

Furikake and mayo on rice is my go to lol. I'll have to try it with noodles some time. I just love the crunch.

I like using peri peri seasoning for meats but I imagine it'd good with roasted veggies as well. It's salty, smoky, tangy. Although some of the better blends seem to have aromatics. The one I tried seemed like mostly chili and salt similar to soondae salt.

I'll try peri peri out sometime! Salty and smokey sounds great.
