Umami is the savoury, addictive, mouthwatering flavour you get from ingredients like mushrooms. meats, and fermented foods. Umami Bomb gets its richness from shiitake + fermented ingredients + tomatoes.

Come on an umami journey and explore its roots, flavour sensations, and health benefits Although the term umami is often associated with MSG, Umami Bomb is an MSG-free product.

Not exactly — Umami Bomb is a blended shiitake chili oil that eats more like a sauce/finisher than a crunchy chili crisp. If you want deep savoury flavour that coats your food, this is for you.

Unlike most chili oils, Umami Bomb is built around shiitake mushrooms and fermented ingredients. That means deeper flavour, more complexity, and way more versatility than just heat and oil.

Use it as a sauce to bring savoury richness to almost anything. Try it on noodles, rice bowls, dumplings, veggies, meats, and more. We suggest a tablespoon per serving to start and adjust to taste.

How to use

• Medium/Garlic : mild-to-medium heat, maximum savoury flavour
• Hot/Sweet Heat : more kick, still very balanced
• Tingly Sichuan/Extra Hot : for serious heat-lovers

If you’re unsure, start with Medium or Garlic (or grab the bundle to find your favourite).

Umami Bomb contains wheat, soy, and sesame.

The small amount of gluten that Umami Bomb contains means it is not safe for people who are celiac, however many customers who are gluten-intollerant have no issue with it at all.

For maximum flavour, add Umami Bomb after cooking. For example, if you’re adding it to a stir fry, add it off the heat as a finishing sauce. 

You can also add Umami Bomb at the start of cooking to build deeper, richer flavour. Longer cooking softens the high notes, which you can easily bring back by adding a small amount again at the end — for example, coating a chicken before roasting and brushing on a final layer after it comes out of the oven.

Store it in the fridge once opened and keep for up to 3 months for best flavour and texture.
