I’m falling in love with cooking and I see on all these shows talk about Umami with ingredients. I get the idea behind the flavor but they don’t excite my taste buds. I feel like I’m missing something.

You could try this – make two little hamburger patties and get two small skillets hot. Salt and pepper one of them, and drizzle the other one with a 50/50 combo of soy sauce and fish sauce. Cook them both until browned and crispy and try the difference between them.
I think fish sauce is pretty nasty when overdone in uncooked things, but when it’s seared, it’s kinda magical-umami-bomb. It’s really amazing on things like grilled burgers, if you don’t overdo it. I consider the fish sauce/soy sauce combo a real secret weapon for grilling burgers.
