This week, I am learning how to use sauces and seasonings to enhance the taste and flavor of Dumplings, Pasta, Empanada and Other Dishes.
The three sauces that accompanied with my Order of Dumplings on Line ( Chili Crisp, Umami and Classic Vinegar)
The
other day, I ordered Argentinian Chicken and Steak Empanadas from
Shef.com. For some reason or another, my order did not include the
chimichurri sauce as advertised. I was a bit disappointed, but I
remembered I had an Umami Seasoning I ordered several weeks ago that
accompanied with my order of Shrimp and Pork Dumplings. I tried it with
the empanadas and it was delicious. For those of you who are not
familiar with Umami seasoning ( see photo above).
Umami Seasoning is made of Salt,
dried mushrooms (including shiitake, porcini, champignon), garlic,
tomato powder, dried chiles, onion, miso powder (soybeans, rice, salt,
aspergillus orzae), balsamic vinegar powder (maltodextrin, balsamic
vinegar), spices, lemon powder (IP corn syrup solids, lemon juice
concentrate, lemon oil),and silicon dioxide. What does umami seasoning taste like?
Umami, which is also known as monosodium glutamate is one of the core fifth tastes including sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.
Umami means “essence of deliciousness” in Japanese, and its taste is
often described as the meaty, savory deliciousness that deepens flavor.
The above are the red and green chimichurri Sauces. Chimichurri sauce is made with fresh herbs, garlic, vinegar, chili pepper and olive oil.
My next order of Fried Pompano from Shef.com will have on the side-a red Chimichurri sauce.
