Preview — The Goal
🎯 The Goal: You taste the sauce and something's… missing. It's seasoned, it's hot, and it's still BORING — so you add more salt, and now it's boring AND salty. The missing dimension usually isn't salt; it's UMAMI, the deep savory fifth taste. The fix costs pennies: a splash of soy sauce, a spoon of tomato paste, or a few drops of fish sauce, and the natural glutamates inside them make the dish taste slower-cooked, richer, and more expensive in about 30 seconds.
