The reason is called ‘Umami’ — also known as the fifth basic taste.
The Japanese word comes from the beginning of the last century, describing a taste caused by glutamate, which gives a more brothy or meaty flavour. The ingredient livens the taste buds, evoking an intense sensation in the mouth and making you want more.
Umami is used as a natural additive in Asian cuisine, enhancing the taste in foods such as fish, seafood, meat, mushrooms, vegetables and yeast based products such as soy sauce.
In Asia, soy sauce is particularly popular to use in scrambled eggs.
All you need to do is add some when you are whisking your eggs in the batter right before you start frying.
For all you more savoury food fans, you will love this. In fact, the soy sauce helps even out the saltiness that sometimes comes along when cooking eggs.
Any soy sauce works for cooking this delicious version of scrambled eggs.
What are you waiting for? Why not give the Asian way of making eggs a chance — add some soy sauce to it.
