the trick to MSG is to double what naturally occurring rate. Chicken that tastes like nothing can taste wonderful with a tinest dash and it'd taste like the best damn chicken. doesn't work well with food already full of umami like parmesan cheese.. and don't keep adding if you're already adding food additives like stock from a can/carton. Those are usually already heavily "fortified" with msg by itself.
- leetrout 6y agoDo you have a source for ratios or such? I have a 1 pound bag of msg and I add it to all kinds of stuff but it only has recommendations for soup on the bag. On other things I just sprinkle it (I dedicated an old salt shaker to dispensing MSG instead hehe)
- alliao 6y agoYou can look up amount of naturally occurring and do some maths! but over the time I've developed some rule of thumb.. Chicken - tiny amounts seafood - no soup - 1/3 of salt half formed food - half of what you'd add in soup the result is naturally tasting food that got a little umami edge. My grandma goes nuclear on it, usually in equal amounts of salt. That's usually too much in my opinion.
- xyst 6y agoThis is partly why chic-fil-a is so popular in the United States. https://www.chick-fil-a.com/menu-items/chick-fil-a-deluxe-sandwich https://www.chick-fil-a.com/menu-items/chick-fil-a-deluxe-sa... (expand the "Ingredients" sub-item and search for "monosodium glutamate") I say partly because we the consumers have been tricked into thinking fried chicken is somehow healthy because it has all of the buzz words associated with it ("organic", "free range")
- chao- 6y agoQuite the opposite: Consumers are so aware that fried chicken is unhealthy that Kentucky Fried Chicken formally changed its name to just "KFC" so as to not explicitly reference the food item anymore.
- newen 6y agoNobody thinks fried chicken is healthy, lol.

- froh 6y agoThe search term, unfortunately in japanese, is "healthy fried chicken" So it finds entries of people who claim to present a healthy fried chicken recipe. Now to claim "plenty of people think fried chicken is healthy", wouldn't we need to search for plain "healthy chicken" instrad and then find surprisingly many fried chicken items?
