Umami
Sio-koji is a japanese traditional ingredient. It's a fermented mixture of salt and "koji". This makes every dish so good.
When meat and fish are pickled, starch and protein in food are hydrolyzed to sugars and amino acids, increasing the taste.
Just mix the powder with the dish, it will bring out the umami in foods.
①Just mix it in the pasta
②Just mix it with the vegetable soup
③Salt-koji works well (and quickly) as a pickling medium.
You can pickle vegetables in salt-koji and have them ready for eating within 24 hours.
Just be sure to wipe away the salt-koji befor eating for your right experience.
You can even cover hard-boiled eggs in salt-koji for up to a week to get a Japanese-inspired version of the classic British pickled egg.
That's it!

I often use powdered koji rice to tenderise and flavour meat, and I make my own shio koji, but I'd never seen dried shio koji available before, so I had to try it because it sounded like the best of both worlds – easier to handle and with a decent shelf life. The salt in it makes a difference. It transforms ordinary supermarket chicken and any steak is the better for it. I found I didn't need to use as much as I expected, either, which makes this multi-pack excellent value. Koji is one of those foodie favourites that really does live up to the hype and this is a very convenient way to use it.
