Maggi seasoning sauce

Dark, salty liquid seasoning with a strong, meaty, savoury flavour, used in Mexico as “jugo Maggi” in sauces, marinades and drinks such as micheladas.

In German-speaking countries it sits on every supermarket shelf, while in English-speaking countries it is more often found in Asian or Latin American grocers or by mail order. The versions vary slightly by country of origin, the Mexican one usually being darker and a little more soy-like, but any of them works.

Substitute:

Dark soy sauce with a dash of Worcestershire sauce comes close but has less of the lovage-like, meaty broth note; use sparingly, as both are salty.
