Add a pinch of sugar
I noticed that David Chang likes to add a bit of agave nectar to his fried rice. I never thought about adding something sweet to this, so I started adding a small amount of brown sugar (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 tsp) to my fried rice, and it really seems to make it tastier. It doesn't read as "sweet" - it just gives it a tiny bit of an additional flavor boost. Since then I've also tried playing around with adding a tiny amount of sugar to other things, and it's usually pretty good.

I'm like this with soy sauce. I almost always add at least a splash of soy sauce in just about everything. Or sometimes fish sauce or worcestershire.
Oh yes! That umami!
My dad told me about a guy he knew in the army who would put a drop of soy sauce in his coffee... Sounded weird but I tried it and it's actually pretty decent.
OMG, I'm going to have to try this. I mean it's basically salt and salt bring out the flavor. I wonder how it compares to the recent butter in coffee trend.
I love soy sauce so much. I'm a bit embarrased but sometimes I open my pantry and just take a tiny swig of the soy sauce straight from the bottle. I just love it, lmao.
Lol! No I get it, it's delicious.
