6 Simple Ingredients That Take Food to the Next Level

These instant flavor-boosters make simple dishes taste amazing.

Amp up a boring chicken dish with any of these bold, colorful flavors.

1. Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce


Stir some into mayo and give any sandwich a Tex-Mex twist. Rub onto chicken and grill for a smoky, spicy finish.

2. Balsamic glaze


Drizzle this thick, syrupy glaze on everything: steaks or pork chops, roasted root vegetables, even fresh strawberries and ice cream.

3. Chili garlic sauce


Add it to stir-fries to ramp up the heat, or go multi-culti and put it in a meatloaf topping or barbecue sauce.

4. Wasabi


Mix a teaspoon into ¼ stick of softened butter and dollop on any cooked fish as a final accent. Add a bit to mayo and spread on roast beef sandwiches.

5. Curry paste


Mix it with coconut milk for a quick shrimp or chicken curry, or add to a peanut dipping sauce for chicken, beef, and pork satés.

6. Miso paste


For a salty-sweet fix, combine it with a little sugar and rice vinegar to marinate cod, sea bass, or salmon, or mash with equal parts butter to toss with veggies.
