LKK Premium Mushroom Seasoning Powder 1kg | Plant-Based Umami Booster for Soups, Stir-Fries & Broth | Vegan | No MSG Added | Gluten Free

Pretty much add this to any savoury food during cooking (I usually start with about 5ml in a meal for two, and see how it goes from there). Will add deep umami without really bringing any other flavours. I don't use it as sprinkle on already cooked food as it's a bit chalky when 'raw'.

Great for most vegetarian dishes, brings a big flavour hit from just a teaspoon. Added it to pastas, stews, chili, fried rice and it always helps the flavour.

I absolutely love this mushroom seasoning powder from Lee Kum Kee. It has quickly become one of my kitchen essentials. The flavour is rich, savoury and packed with umami savouriness, adding depth to almost any dish without overpowering the other ingredients. Although it only contains a small percentage of mushroom, the mushroom aroma and taste come through beautifully. It has a soft, fine texture and dissolves easily into liquids, much like a stock cube, without thickening the dish.The seasoning is super salty though, so I always make sure to adjust the rest of the recipe accordingly. At first, I didn't realise how salty it would be and made the mistake of directly adding a spoonful - I soon realised!! A little definitely goes a long way and I usually use it in place of salt now, much earlier on in the cooking process, then finish seasoning at the end, but I really don't think you need to add additional salt. The suggested ratio of one teaspoon to around 300 to 350ml of water works well for soups and stocks, but I now often also just add a pinch directly into sauces, risottos, stir fries, casseroles and stews. I’ve even used it in bolognese and cottage pie to boost the flavour. It works brilliantly as a base for ramen broth as well and is particularly good in risotto, giving it a delicious richness.What I really appreciate is its versatility. Despite its strong umami kick, it doesn’t drastically alter the dish or give it a strong mushroom taste. It just enhances the overall savoury profile. The tin is huge and excellent value for money, especially considering how little you need for each use. It comes in an airtight container with a resealable lid (you have to peel back the can first), and the quality is just what I expect from Lee Kum Kee (I already use their soy sauce). The ingredients are clearly listed, and although there’s more salt than mushroom, the balance works perfectly. I trust this brand completely and use many of their other products, so I had no hesitation trying this one and I’m really glad I did.

Unbeatable flavour at unbeatable price

This is a product that I will always keep in my cupboard it’s got so many uses

Delicious!

Large tin, plastic lid, sealed beneath the plastic lid so no tampering whatsoever. However, the best before date is for the 26th June 2026....we are on the final week of March 2026.Also would like to add that in the ingredients, there is ONLY 2% of Shiitakè powdered mushrooms & ONLY 1% of white button mushrooms, loads of flavour enhancers though the E-numbers have not been printed so here on the Island of Irèland, we can find out exactly what the E-numbers are & if they're safe.... 3 stars given

If you’re looking for a flavour hit in mash, cheese sauce or bolognaise, stick a teaspoon of this magic stuff in. It gives a depth of flavour that even people who don’t like mushrooms will love. It’s got salt in it, so use in quantities like you would season with salt.

Gutes Produkt um Suppen und Soßen den letzten Kick zu geben. In Zeiten in denen alle von Umami reden wollte ich das auch mal ausprobieren. Ich koche gerne und das auch jeden Tag. Ja, das Produkt schmeckt salzig, aber das kann man ja beim würzen des Essens mit einrechnen. Am Ende ist der Pilz- Geschmack nicht mehr wahrnehmbar, das Essen schmeckt einfach irgendwie "runder", ich hoffe ihr wisst was ich meine…Werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen!

I'm trying this because my cousin in LA, California, recommended it. She does a lot of cooking and stated that it is a great product

I love this powder. Gives a nice mushroomy flavour to dishes or soup. It really enhances the flavour of the meal.
