U is for Umami

Umami: the taste sensation that is produced by several amino acids and nucleotides (such as glutamate and aspartate) and has a rich or meaty flavor characteristic of cheese, cooked meat, mushrooms, soy, and ripe tomatoes.  Source: Merriam-Webster Dictionary

One of my favorite ways to add Umami to a dish is with Miso.  Miso is a soybean-based paste that adds a savory, sweet/salty flavor to a dish.  I used some to make these delicious Miso Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
