5 Ways with Umami Vegetarian →

October 18, 2015

I created this Far Eastern umami recipe with my friend and mentor Nobu Matsuhisa, whose Nobu restaurants pay homage to flavour in a most exciting and fresh way. With one squeeze of this golden tube you will be able to recreate those exciting flavours in your own kitchen – I won’t tell if you don’t!

This is a deliciously extraordinary flavor booster for any savory dish. Especially good with Far Eastern-style dishes, and achieving umami in vegetarian dishes which can otherwise prove a challenging feat! Here are five ideas to help you get started:

1. SPECIAL FRIED RICE

My son's favourite dish - and a great kitchen staple.

2. ASIAN-STYLE UMAMI STEAK

A steak sauce with a great umami twist!

3. CHICKEN SATAY SKEWERS

So easy to make, and everyone loves them.

4. RAINBOW VEGGIE STIR-FRY

Bring your vegetables to life with a squeeze of Umami Vegetarian.

5. LAMB LOLLIPOPS

Brilliantly simple recipe for large gatherings.
