Viral Video Reveals Restaurant's 'Secret' Umami Sauce Made from Chicken Bones

A recent viral video by content creator @diegodoal has unveiled a 'secret' restaurant technique for making an intensely flavorful umami sauce from commonly discarded ingredients. The video, which has garnered over 1.9 million views, demonstrates a detailed process starting with roasting chicken bones, then simmering them with vegetables for hours to extract collagen and flavor. The culinary hack involves reducing the resulting stock to a concentrated, gelatinous consistency, which is then clarified and further reduced. According to @diegodoal, this 'reduction' is one of the most umami-rich substances in the world. He showcases its versatility, drizzling it over roasted broccoli and a perfectly cooked steak. The creator suggests emulsifying the sauce with butter to further enhance its flavor and recommends freezing it in cubes for convenient future use, promising a 'restaurant-quality dinner in 10 minutes.' While some viewers debated the term 'trap' used by the creator to describe restaurant practices, many praised the video for its informative nature and the innovative use of ingredients. Comments ranged from 'No es “trampa” es una salsa clásica. Buen video!' to 'hasta el día de hoy sigo sin entender que es umami,' highlighting both appreciation for the technique and ongoing curiosity about the umami flavor profile.
