Umami Butter
Rich, savoury, and packed with deep savoury umami, this Umami Butter is your secret weapon for turning simple cooking into something restaurant-worthy.
Made with our signature Premium Fish Sauce, this butter blends creamy richness with a punch of fermented depth and natural seasoning. The result is a perfectly balanced compound butter that melts into anything it touches, instantly boosting flavour without the need for complicated sauces or extra seasoning.
Slather it over a sizzling steak as it rests, toss it through hot seafood for a glossy finish, or let it melt over grilled fish to create an instant sauce. It’s just as delicious folded through roasted vegetables, brushed over corn on the cob, or stirred into warm rice or noodles for a quick flavour upgrade.
The beauty of Umami Butter lies in its versatility – one simple ingredient that works across cuisines and cooking styles. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or upgrading a weeknight meal, it delivers bold, savoury depth with almost no effort.
Keep it in the fridge or freezer, ready to transform anything from ordinary to unforgettable in seconds.

Cooking Instructions
- Soften the butter: Let it sit at room temperature until soft and spreadable.
- Mix: In a bowl, combine butter with fish sauce, garlic, capsicum, shallots, parsley, lemon juice and zest. Mix until well combined.
- Taste & adjust to taste: Add more fish sauce for deeper umami, lemon juice for tartness, season with pepper.
- Shape & chill: Lay out a sheet of cling wrap about 30cm long. Put butter in the middle of cling wrap, fold clip wrap over butter and roll tightly into a log. Store in the fridge and chill until firm.
Serving Tips:
- To use, chop a slice from the butter roll and melt over cooked meat, seafood or vegetables.
- Spread over toasted bread as an alternative to garlic bread.
- Cover with cling wrap any unused butter and return to fridge. Use remaining umami butter within 1 week of preparation.
