Umami tips

[Tobuyornot99]

Hello, I just bought some umami after seeing it for the first time in the supermarket. I've vaguely heard of it but not exactly sure how to use it....any tips or hints please?
Thanks in advance

Do you mean umami paste?
I put a good squeeze in bolognaise sauce and in my gravy when I'm doing a beef roast

I add it to spag Bol and Shepards pie.

It's a salt / rub rather than a paste. So definitely only beef dishes then, not chicken or lighter flavours? Thanks!

I use it on chicken and vegetable dishes (amazing on glazed carrots) I would be wary of the salt though as it may make everything too salty, the paste may be worth a try?
