What's something you add to (most of) your dishes that gives it a signature taste or a special kick?

I like to throw a pinch of chicken bouillon in a lot of different dishes, sometimes in lieu of salt or in addition to. The bouillon I use also has onion, garlic, and paprika so it gives everything a subtle but welcome kick.

Citric acid. You can add that little bit of brightness without also adding moisture. A little goes a long way. Sometimes if something tastes like it needs more salt or spices, it might actually just need a little acid.
