Haha yea it's a fair bit of work involved but worth it if you've got a day free 😂

I'm not super familiar with that umami seasoning, and as good as it looks the mushroom version of umami has always been it's own thing in my opinion? Probably because of it's own unique flavours it brings to the party. It could totally work though!

Fish sauce would be a hard no though lmao.

If you happen to have miso paste or powder on hand it could work as a good alternative though, just watch the salt content and reduce the soy as necessary.

Or just go buy a small bag of MSG lol that stuff's cheap.

Oh shoot. I wasn't trying to prove you wrong. I was just really curious about it. Your point (which I agree with) still stands - this is a lot of MSG for a recipe.

It’s tradition to ignore OP’s egg roll.

Literally just ate breakfast and now I'm hungry again. Thanks! Can't wait to make this.

My mistake, I know the density of salt is about 2.2 g/mL and guessed wrong

Thank you

Your comment got me curious, so I actually went to the kitchen and weighed out the MSG. My scale says 1TB = 14g. So we're talking 64g of MSG. While not close to 100g, it still seems like a LOT. I mean, my bag of MSG says for 5 servings of soup, add 1/2 TB. This recipe is for ~6 servings.

I use MSG in lots of things, but the amount in this recipe seems high. This egg drop soup recipe from woksoflife for 6 servings uses 1/4 teaspoon. If you search on their website for MSG, most of the recipes for a similar number of servings uses about that much. Just search for MSG, and it'll show recipes that contain that ingredient.

Take over half the world for spices. Refuses to use any of them in their food

Big time.

If there's any bread that would get me into baking it would be a dense/dark rye 😩😩😩 so good toasted with way too much butter and some finishing salt.

I love how the density means it retains moisture even when you toast it, so you have this beautiful moist bread with hot crispy toasted surfaces and then the juiciness of melted butter lol. Simply amazing.

Would boiling the oil for a quick fry kill before leaving them to soak in oil kill the botulism bacteria?

I can't say I understand the reasoning behind it. There are diminishing returns on it, and 4tbsp is a friggan ton. I liberally shake a bottle of it over some of our food and MAYBE would end up using 1tbsp in an entire skillet/pan of something. OP also comes across as a bit elitist and rude.

Thanks for the early morning belly laugh! The best way to describe soufflé is by texture, rather than taste. It’s like a light fluffy cloud cake that’s a little gooey on the inside :) I used dark chocolate so it’s also velvety and chocolate-y.

Hope you get to relive the Norte Dame 2 experience IRL!

I have two packs of shirataki noodles that I really need to use because they've already passed the "Best By" date.

I saw the picture and I was like "OH that looks PERFECT!"

Then I saw the recipe and I was like "...fuck me that's a lot of work"

That being said, I still might do it.

I don't keep MSG on hand, but I have TJ's Umami seasoning and fish sauce. Would either/or work as subs?

A compliment for sure!

Thank you, I love bread and bread making. Anyone can do it, it takes some patience and understanding, trial and error but it’s a nice process. Something very humbling and joyful about making a nice loaf.

I don’t actually sniff butts but I do like Catan.

Oh, looking at that got my stomach bubbling . Would be a long morning on the shitter

Feel better buddy!

That does seem like a ludicrous amount.

The dose makes the poison and all - this guy is advising 4 Tbsp which is like more than 100 g (4 oz) of freaking MSG

Looks amazing!

Tbf, high doses of anything will harm you.

Hahaha it's like the perfect flu cure but also quite a bit of effort so I totally get it. It usually takes me 2 1/2 to 3 hours to make from prep to cleanup, by the time that's done I don't even have the same enthusiasm anymore so it just goes in the fridge for tomorrow 😂 no way you'd catch me cooking this if I was sick lmao.

Hope you get better soon bro!

Boy that meat is way overcooked

I have flu atm and this looks incredibly appetising, but I don’t have the energy to go get ingredients and make it. I’ll try it out when I’m better!
