The best Meat Seasonings: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

In the US (maybe elsewhere too), there's a product called Accent that can be found at most supermarkets. It's literally just a shaker of MSG. The ingredients list just that. https://www.amazon.com/ACCENT-FLAVOR-SEASONING-NATURAL-ENHANCER/dp/B007HACDBA

I think you mean FLAVOUR and FLAVOUR is awesome.

Everyone should own a bag of MSG. That shit takes good food and makes it great.

For $6.11 you can turn good soup into great soup. Most other foods benefit as well.

You're doing the right method, no worries there.

But, I have a few tips for you:

1) Fresh water sucks out some of the flavor while cooking, so, use a generous amount of salt in the boiling water.

2) Season after it's done cooking. We crack the shell and shake some right onto the meat. In my area, Old Bay is the standard. You can make it yourself if it's not sold locally, the ingredients are pretty standard.

3) Learn how to make drawn butter (boil butter for a minute, let it settle, skim off the solids, pour off the butter, leave the whey behind). Great for dipping clams/crabs/lobster/crayfish/etc.

Just shake a little of this on your fried chicken while in the US. You’ll swear you’re in Japan.

Rice Eating Meetup on Friday, somewhere in Cobo: Be nice 4 free rice. Y'all better bring some furikake to that meetup bc eating with only soy sauce is kinda boring imo

I use it like a spice. Sprinkle it on with whatever else I’m adding like garlic powder, pepper, etc. I add it into rubs and breading and it makes everything more delicious.

Also, I’d recommend getting your msg from an Asian grocery store. Much better bang for your buck. The brand I’m familiar with is called Ajinomoto

I know you're looking for this specific brand of Korean nori, but the Japanese version is also incredibly tasty. It's called furikake, and it comes in something like 20 different flavors :)

I like Dale's Seasoning. Amazon link. It's got some corn syrup and sugar in it, but not too much. Soy sauce is the predominant flavor. You could probably make your own by adding garlic powder & onion powder to regular soy sauce.

Dales is a secret weapon. You can find it at most Kroger's, but if not then of course Amazon. Link below. Warning!!! This stuff will hook you for life.

For me, MSG "wakes up" food similar to salt. I think it's a good experiment to check out. I haven't tried swapping it for salt but maybe I'll try to do it on my own. It's cheap and in most supermarkets too. Look for this in the Asian food aisle: https://smile.amazon.com/Accent-Natural-Flavor-Enhancer-Ounce/dp/B0004M0B4Y/ref=sr_1_13_0o_fs?dchild=1&keywords=accent+msg&qid=1605239121&sr=8-13

Now that's a good question! There should be a way to send someone a code through email or text that they can use to redeem a thing.

You could PM it to me, and then only I'd see it. If you look on my profile, I've done Reddit Secret Santa before, so I'm at least 37% trustworthy. I understand if you don't want to though. Also, Amazon sells it! At least, to my IP address :)

> it is all good if you know how to season your shit

A little bit of MSG does absolute wonders for ground turkey. Probably helps plant-based meat too but that stuff is too expensive for me so I can't really say.

MSG still has a stupid stigma attached to it so you'll normally see it in a store as "flavor enhancer" - Accent Flavor Enhancer is probably the biggest brand and you should be able to find it at Walmart.

Not who you asked but I use a blend. Ingredients:

MSG

Disodium guanylate

Disodium inosinate

Fine sea salt

What you will do is blend the MSG:Disodiums at a 3:1 ratio (respectively) by weight.

Then combine this MSG blend with the fine salt in a 1:9 ratio.

I bought this off amazon.

She's got some brand that has literally nothing in the ingredients other than MSG, but the label calls it something more "appealing" or whatever.

I just buy this.

Volim rakove!! Kuhajte ih na pari u Old Bayu

If you can order on Amazon, ajinomoto is MSG, and it's really inexpensive for the quantity you get.

Yeah, pancit is the best! I love this recipe. Just make sure to use both dark and light soy sauce, that's the secret. I like Golden Mountain for the light sauce. Also, skip the oyster sauce and add more light soy instead for an authentic Adventist style.

As long as you match the wet ingredients to the noodles, you can go wild on the veggies and protein choice. Need enough water to hydrate or not overshoot and make soup.

It is marketed under a specific name. After Kikunae Ikeada isolated the substance he began selling it under the brand name Aji-no-moto 味の素 (Essence of taste) in 1909. You can still buy it under that name, still sold by the same company.

It probably never got a trade name in English since unlike East Asians, Westerners never seem to use it at home. Since Western consumers are not buying it, only bulk food producers, there is no need for a trade name.

Amazon. I don't like Accent.

I much prefer:https://www.amazon.com/Ajinomoto-Seasoning-Monosodium-Glutamate-Naturally/dp/B00I0M99MU/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1BOK6LPP6S911&keywords=msg&qid=1656438680&sprefix=ms%2Caps%2C276&sr=8-6

and it is much cheaper.

I personally get them from Amazon. You should be able to find MSG at grocery stores though.

amazon My bad. Known as I+G

It's easy to make a flavorless or bland gravy since milk and flour together don't have too much flavor. The spices from the sausage should be enough to flavor the gravy and when it's too bland, add salt. The thick milk and flour gravy will do a lot to soften the flavor of spices and some salt (and, personally, I add a pinch of this) will help perk up the gravy.

Assuming you want to avoid changing the fundamental flavor of the dish, use mushrooms; some deeply roasted tomatoes; and perhaps some umami seasoning.

for marinades I like one called Dales.

Youtube is your best friend to find different ideas. I also downloaded the weber app, read recipe books and etc.

I recently bought some stew meat and I cooked it and my wife said it was really tough, so I went online and saw some recommended marinating in coke (the soda, not the drug) and the meat was so soft it was crazy. I think i might buy cheaper cuts of meat and marinate in coke from now on.

From my Amazon history

Spice Supreme M.S.G. Monosodium Glutamate, Plastic Shaker, 4.25-oz (MSG (Pack of 2)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076PMPTQG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_N3RR5RR83BSNDA42S53C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I’ve done a few iterations, and I’ve settled on using a mix of 125 g salt to 10 g MSG. (I also sometimes add 1 g of I+G flavor enhancer, if you want to go down that rabbit hole.)

I find that it’s so easy to overdo it on the MSG, and this mixture does a good job of keeping me from ruining dinner. It’s the difference between “wow this is really good” and “did you put something weird in this”.

If you want to get slightly more esoteric, you can mix I+G into your msg at a 1:3 ratio of I+G to MSG in order to get an even more intense umami effect. Might seem expensive, but if you get the 350g tub it is good for 1050g of msg (1400g total) which is not much per serving.

Try Golden Mountain sauce too. It's got a lighter flavor for an equally delicious umami boost with less noticeable flavor change than traditional dark soy sauce. Also a must-have for Thai cooking.

Oh that sounds interesting. Can you give me some examples how you use it? Like just cook your normal dish, and add in a bit at the end? E.g. for Chicken With Rice or Beef with Rice.

You mean something like this?

Hy's, you say? So, you're Canadian, eh?

>I’ve never had old bay.

As a lifelong Marylander, this makes me so sad. You can get yourself some Old Bay on Amazon, though it's a bit pricey.
