For things that the spicy undertones wouldn't work well with, consider trying fish sauce. It's even more intense with the umami boosting ability. It's practically liquid MSG. I recommend Red Boat 40°N to people unfamiliar with it as an ingredient, it's basically "first press" and has a clean and pure flavour. Cheaper fish sauces can be very fishy. Good fish sauce won't make the final dish taste fishy unless you use an extreme amount.

Do you have a good fish sauce brand? I tried one once and even a couple of drops in a sauce I was preparing managed to make the entire house smell like Poseidon's week old gym socks.

  I literally recommended one in the comment you responded to. But, Red Boat 40°N.
