This umami seasoning -- inspired by Trader Joe's version -- gets its savory flavor from porcini mushroom powder. It can be scaled up easily and keeps well, so make a double batch to keep on hand to use when you're looking to add a flavor boost to any dish.
Combine the porcini powder, white mushroom powder, onion powder, chile flakes, mustard powder, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Transfer to an airtight container. Umami seasoning keeps up to 3 months at room temperature.
Here are two of our favorite ways to use the seasoning.
Mac and Cheese: Stir 1 tablespoon umami seasoning into the cheese sauce from your favorite boxed mac and cheese before you toss it with the pasta.
Popcorn: Pop a 3.5-ounce package of natural microwave plain popcorn. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon umami seasoning.
