Umami is translated from Japanese as ‘pleasant savory taste.” Umami is naturally present in many meats, fish and vegetables and is most commonly available commercially in the form of MSG. Umami Powder is a natural alternative for adding that savory umami flavor through the fermentation of rice, shiitakes and kombu. This soy-free flavor bomb can find a home in any pantry where enhancing the richness of flavor without unwanted moisture or allergens is a consideration. Scott and Janie discuss how to use umami powder, and test out a brand new recipe for a marbled plant-based ribeye steak… on this week’s WTF.
