You're recipe looks insanely good, and I love msg but 4 tablespoons sounds like an incredulous amount. I'm just comparing to salt in my mind and of course 4 tablespoons of salt would probably kill you and make it taste like seawater. Is this not the case with msg? Just asking as I eat a lot of things with msg in but have never used pure msg itself as an ingredient.

If you use the same chillis I've used I'd guess it's getting pretty close to Mexican. But you gotta understand I'm in NZ so don't have the best grasp of how hot proper Mexican hot is. But please also understand that I often use superhots in cooking so there's that to consider too lol. This isn't quite as hot as the candied habaneros I also made today, but I'm guessing if the habs would make you perspire then these noodles might just make you slightly red faced?

I add it to a few dishes when I remember to. I use it sparingly bc I don't want to throw anything out and have to start a new dinner, usually. I do taste as I go, but I worry that the flavor will become more pronounced as this dish comes together or that my taste buds are simply dead compared to my partners. I'm going all in next time!
