For an umami bomb whenever possible.
No one knew that I drizzled soy sauce into the gravy this year at Thanksgiving. Well, nobody except my sister, who looked at me, confused, when I asked her where I could find a bottle of the stuff in her mother-in-law's kitchen. When dinner was over, the gravy boat sat completely empty, and I asked if anyone could guess what my secret ingredient had been. No one had an answer. When I said that it was soy sauce, they marveled: This wasn't an Asian-themed Thanksgiving, after all.
But since starting my job at Serious Eats, I've learned that we drop "umami bombs" whenever possible—and soy sauce is one of those deeply savory ingredients that bring life to a wide variety of recipes.
