Easy Steps to Boost Flavour in Your Dishes

Many of us have missed the freedom of going to bazaars and the night market.

As we are slowly getting back into our routines and allowed to once again enjoy our long waited pasar malam, food bazaar business owners need to bring their business onto delivery platforms and social media.

No longer can we rely solely on the traditional ways of selling in-person.

1. Use High Heat

One simple step that does not require any extra seasoning, is to just increase the heat of the cooking. Heat can enhance the flavour by caramelizing the outer layer of the food.

Deep fry, wok fry, grill, char, and broil. All these high heat cooking methods will not only give a crispy or crunchy texture but also create a reaction that naturally makes it more delicious.

2. Soups

For soup based dishes, use ingredients that naturally have high umami flavour such as mushrooms, anchovies, seaweed, tomato and more.

This will deepen the flavour of the broth and balance it with some sweet and sour seasoning for an even better taste.

Adding AJI-NO-MOTO^® PLUS helps to enhance the sweetness of the soup. Try adding it to some local favourites such as Pan Mee, Prawn Mee, or Mee sup.

3. Filling

What about the delicious filling such as minced meat or fish paste we add into fried snacks or soup?

Even if your soup or sauce tastes good but with a bland filling, it is going to reduce the quality of the dish.

Flavours and seasoning should be done in layers, so when it comes to the filling, balancing the flavours that will complement the soup or sauce is important.

For example, if the soup has a deep sweet flavour, the filling can slightly on the salty side to round the flavours and not have the soup too sweet.

Always think about how you can compensate and balance everything by bringing in a different taste profile to reduce the impact of the current flavour.

A simple and effective way to immediately enhance any dish would be to use AJI-NO-MOTO^® PLUS.

A premium flavour enhancer that can further enhance the deliciousness and savoury taste with minimal usage.

4. Rice Don’t have to be Bland

Have you tried seasoning your rice?
Well you would be surprised that by adding a pinch of AJI-NO-MOTO^® PLUS into the water before cooking the rice, it gives a savoury taste and enhances the sweet fragrant flavour of the rice.

You can try it in fried rice to give it an extra depth of flavour or it also goes especially well with ‘Nasi Lemak’ as it separates the rice nicely and does not make it overbearingly fatty.

Rice is then no longer something boring used to eat with delicious dishes but enhanced to be the star of the dinner table.
