What’s something you add to (most of) your dishes that gives it a signature taste or a special kick?
I like to throw a pinch of chicken bouillon in a lot of different dishes, sometimes in lieu of salt or in addition to. The bouillon I use also has onion, garlic, and paprika so it gives everything a subtle but welcome kick.


Olives, they can add so much to almost any dish. Bonus points if you preserve them yourself. Other than that I really love when the ginger is fried first before anything else.
I love olives but they have too much salt that might affect my blood pressure.
