Hey Veeky Forums I am curious about what your secret ingredients are in your favorite recipes, or if there is some recipe that you make and add just a bit of something that makes it much better.
I put just a pinch of smoked paprika in scrambled eggs and one of white pepper in mashed potatoes. I also steam my vegetables in stock.
Adam Turner
i put garam masala in a lot of stuff

Wyatt Evans
My secret ingredient is adding more salt, butter, oil or sugar.
Jacob Diaz

>a pinch of smoked paprika in scrambled eggs Isnt there a technique were fried eggs are used with multiple seasonings to learn the differences?
Connor Ross
mustard. put it in anything savory, use it as a meat rub for roasts. the flavor cooks out but leaves a depth of yumminess you can't miss
Jaxon Johnson
MSG. Tastes great. I also don't cut out any salt when I'm using it.
Hunter Walker
I add a small amount of cinnamon to fudge and other chocolate desserts whenever I make them.
Logan Clark
Butter. Butter in everything.
Aaron Hall
I add a heaping spoonful of peanut butter to my curries. It adds another dimension to the flavor.
Eli Hall
I put a little oregano in homemade beef stew. Also sprinkle it over chicken I'm preparing to grill.

I like to warm shallot, garlic and bay leaf into the milk for mashed potatoes, but I think that's pretty common.
Stir frying veg, boiling a little soy sauce dry on high heat makes for a hint of that singed flavour that's hard to get otherwise without a ridiculous wok burner.
Soy sauce in tomato sauces.
Red wine vinegar on meat for roasting.
Sounds really good, I'm stealing that.
Oliver Cox
maple syrup and i'm not even canadian drop it in stews, sauces, on toast, on fruit, on its own
Lucas Sanders
Butter, MSG, salt, or any combination of the three. Depending on the recipe.
James Richardson
I am damn near embarrassed to admit this but since we're anonymous, I will tell you - I am a competitive bbq/grill contestant. My secret ingredient is a mix of Vermont syrup and Texas honey.
Julian Gutierrez
This. And also, in dessert recipes I use milk instead of water if I can, and then with meal recipes I'll use broth instead of water where I can. Oh and mayonnaise in mashed potatoes as well as in scrambled eggs.
Levi Harris
My secret ingredient is salt.
Try it. Put it on almost anything and it will taste better.
Nathan Myers
The secret ingredient to anything is more sugar, salt, or fat. Brass tacks. People want the things that will eventually kill them.
Bentley Ross
i find semen adds a great zing to a lot of dishes
Jose Bailey
p-post her feet
Adam Price
Hush. Who the fuck wants to hear the truth? Fuck off.
Cameron Wright
desu the fried egg technique is a lazy version of an ACTUAL method that uses scrambled egg rolled, sliced, and each slice seasoned.
Anthony Rodriguez
I add nutmeg to a lot of things now.

Landon Powell
Knorr Stockpots.
Nicholas Anderson
Just about to post this. Didn't expect to find someone else using it on here. I put it in more or less everything and everybody is surprised when I tell them there's anchovy oil in what they just ate.
Mason Morales
yes
Dylan Ramirez
Is that dolphin extract?
Wyatt Ward
Use baking soda + lime juice in pancakes. Insanely fluffy.
Ethan Johnson
>Your "secret" ingredients
I use some ground black pepper and Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning in my tomato soup.
“Bam!”, as you kids like to say.
James Howard
smoked paprika on everything
Ethan Foster

Jason Gomez
a dash of nutmeg in egg dishes
Oliver Miller

Jacob Martinez
Ginger ale, for my bbq sauce. Fresh squeezed lime, and zest for my tuna salad. And fresh garlic paste for many of my ground beef recipes.
Carter Scott
I'm a cook at a small burger joint, and I put a little bit of mushroom powder on each burger, and they get rave reviews. Definitely recommend.
Gabriel Smith
yep
Lincoln Cooper
smoked salt, I use it in stews, ragu's, goulash etc etc. Gives a nice smokey roundness.
Dominic Jones
This desu
Camden Sullivan
is this just milled shitake? it seems based
Eli Bennett
I secretly put chicken stock in a lot of the things I cook for my vegetarian friends. I've been doing it for over three years.
Connor Reyes
if I told you, it would't be a secret :^)
Jordan Morgan
Do you buy it or make your own?
Ethan Perry
Rub the food items on your vagina a few times before cooking. It will keep your man from going astray. Try it.
Aaron Myers
A add little dash of passion and a spoonful of love.
Ethan Mitchell
Protip: call it Ve-Tsin and people will think it's a super secret oriental spice instead of a creepy chemical
Ryder Turner
Liquor.
Lots and lots of liquor.
Austin Hill
Came here to post this, nothing adds more flavor than a little pinch of my freshly made semen.
Jaxson Lee
A wee bit of vinegar.
Bentley Murphy
I live in Indiana, so using fresh ground pepper is truly a secret ingredient.
Matthew Garcia
Can't stand the lavender.
Can totally behind anchovy oil tho.
Anchovies would be my secret. Soups, sauces, toppings.
Thomas Reed
I buy prepacked spicemixes/sauces. The secret is that I cook well.
Jackson Taylor
in marinades, sauces, dips
Isaac Mitchell
Nearly any soup is better with a touch of cayenne.
I put a couple cloves and a bay leaf (and salt obviously) into the water I use to boil stuffed pastas like tortellini or ravioli.
Thomas Howard
I'm currently experimenting with adding very thin pasta (vermicelli) and brown it with some butter in a pot before adding rice and water. Hoping to recreate a dish I ate in Turkey.
Lincoln Harris
Worcestershire sauce... yep
Jose Howard
nutmeg and a stock cube in pasta sauce
Adrian Lewis
Worcester sauce or balsamic vinegar, especially in meat dishes. Really brings out the flavour!
Jeremiah Bailey
Checked
Nicholas Wilson
adding cinnamon powder to anything with tomato and strong roasted meat like sauce bolognesa
Camden Kelly
Worcester, Fish sauce,anchovies in meaty dishes, specially braised or poached, it brings the flavour. Also gelatin. Lemon zest or juice, Paprika,nutmeg, depending of what it squares it.
Adrian Moore
gelatin? wow thats interesting!
Anthony King
I tend to add it to the stock when I don't throw pig feets, gelatin does amazing things for palatability imho.
