Mushrooms are a favorite of mine to add. Just made a beef tips and gravy over rice and tried throwing some mushrooms in and it made a world of difference.

I realy like fish sauce, easy to add and no one notices that it is there.

Fill a small bowl with fish sauce, add a big pinch of sugar, a lightly squeezed lime wedge, chopped garlic and chopped chilis (Thai works best but any will do). Mix and you have yourself a perfect Nam Pla to add to southeast Asian dishes.

Fish sauce is great in almost everything.

Parmesan cheese rind. Add it to any sauce or soup. Just gotta fish it out like a bay leaf when it’s done.

I add soy sauce to pretty much everything, it might be a bit of an issue as soon I will have to start buying it by the liter.
