Explore CuisineSavvy recipes and articles tagged Umami.
This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged Umami. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.
Use the filter below to narrow these umami recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.
Deep, savoury and steaming hot, this Japanese-inspired rice is threaded with tender shiitake, king oyster and shimeji mushrooms, then crowned with golden-seared chestnut mushrooms and a shower of fresh herbs. Every grain is glossed with vegan butter and perfumed with kombu dashi, mirin and sake, making it rich enough to serve as a centrepiece. It pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of dry sparkling water or a light Japanese lager.

A quietly extraordinary broth — amber-clear, deeply savoury and faintly of the sea — that transforms any dish it touches. Built from nothing but dried kombu and shiitake mushrooms, it delivers the kind of clean, lingering umami that makes ramen, noodle soups and simmered vegetables taste truly considered. Make a batch, freeze it in portions, and you will always have something remarkable to hand.
