The Uncommon Ingredient That Gives Scrambled Eggs An Umami Boost - Mashed

You might want to add some salmon to your scrambled eggs on occasion, or even some tomatoes or mushrooms. But if you don't want to spend much of your morning chopping fresh veggies or braising salmon, there's an easier umami fix for your quick scrambled eggs. Just reach into the pantry or fridge and grab your favorite bottle of soy sauce.

As LifeHacker explains, soy sauce adds a deep, rich umami flavor to your scrambled eggs. Unlike other simple umami ingredients that you can add, such as onion powder, soy sauce is not at all subtle, so is the way to go if you want a pungent flavor that will change up the flavor profile of your favorite breakfast dish. Just start with a splash of soy sauce, and cook the eggs low and slow. 

Once you give your newly reinvented scrambled eggs an initial taste, you can decide if you want to add more or less soy sauce next time. Whatever you decide, one thing's for certain — the umami trend is here to stay.
