• Ramen or udon noodles
• Grilled vegetables, or tofu

• Sweet potatoes or roasted potatoes
• Popcorn as a tasty film night snack

Top Tips for Perfecting:

• Fresh garlic is recommended for the best taste and flavor.
• Modify the temperature Then add more chili flakes, if you are a fan of spicy food or reduce it to a more mild version.
• Do not let the garlic burn This is essential! Be sure to watch it carefully while it cooks.
• Add the variety Mix with crushed peanuts dried shrimp, crushed peanuts, or even a little MSG for an additional umami boost.
• Triple the amount You’ll need more than one Jar.

Storing and Reheating Tips:

• You can store the salty umami mix in an airtight glass container at the room temperature for up to two weeks. If the kitchen is warm you can store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresher (up to 1 month).To rehydrate the texture after being stored, toast a spoonful of it in a dry pan prior to use. 30 seconds should suffice. It’s not recommended to freeze since it could damage the texture.
