I cook with MSG sometimes. A little goes a long way because it seems to enhance ALL flavors. For example, salt tastes more salty somehow. So it can be easy to over season when using MSG. I recommend adding MSG first, THEN salting to taste.
Just put salt, taste and add msg. Most of the time you just need 1/4 msg and half salt per portion. If you cook soup or stir fry, some recepies would require you to add a bit sugar to make it more balance
for a note, MSG, like Salt, lowers the tongues ability to taste bitter flavors by blocking the receptors and forces sweet and umami to bind longer to receptors. id try it on a grapefruit and see what happens.
When are we gonna get the steak that has everything?? Sous vide, pineapple, dry age, etc. Literally everything on one steak. Cmon guga, i know you can do it!
My thoughts on this - MSG does not dissolve readily in cold liquids. So in something like an ice cold soda, that MSG is likely sitting on the bottom of the cup, not mixed in with the liquid. MSG and yeast have much the same flavor effects, which is likely why you don't get much response in bread products. Some things like the fries already contain something similar to MSG (hydrolyzed wheat), and this is a case of more isn't better.

Hi as a Asian(Singaporen) and a owner of a food business I would like to share my 2 cents on MSG. What MSG does is it adds ad extra oomp and complexity to your dish. Asian restaurants including mine adds it to many of our dishes as it is a very efficient way to make food tastier or cut down on the cooking time. For example in my restaurant we serve "Prawn Noodles" which are noodles soaked in prawn seafood broth. The proper recipe would be to boil the broth with sautéed prawn heads and shells for 6 hours but we do not do that in my restaurants as that would mean that my staffs will have to be at the restaurant at 4am early in the morning to prepare the broth. With MSG, we only prepare the broth for 3 hours. Although it does not taste similar to the actual broth when boiled for 6 hours, it doesn't not taste too different either and most untrained palette will not be about to tell the difference. As for headaches caused by MSG, too much of it DOES gives you a headache but it is similar to the headaches you get when you have too much salt. If you get a headache then you are obviously adding way too much of it. Remember that a little bit of MSG goes a long way. For those from the west who are unfamiliar with the uses of MSG, you can add a little to fried meat dishes or broth with meat in it (etc chicken soup). It is as safe as salt and consuming too much of it gives the same side effect of too much salt (etc headaches, dry mouth, thirsty). Hope it helps.
@@GogiRegion most probably, msg is somehow saltier than salt too. So if a recipe calls for salt and you plan on adding MSG, you might want to skip the salt 1st. You can always add the salt later but you can't remove too much salt. Hope it helps.

Interesting video. I don't think I've experienced MSG making anything taste bad, but I find there are definitely some things where it just does nothing or almost nothing. One of the things I like about MSG is that it definitely seems more forgiving than salt if you accidently over season something, so you don't end up with an over-salted taste.
i think most asian foods add msg to food we cook rather than sprinkle at the end. for example the egg for the shushi, you'd add a little bit of msg in it. the steak you would rub it as additional spice. i think it would even bring out more flavor if you heat it to certain temp.

@@Jasper_155 the hate against msg is just racism lmao. Msg has no negative effect on the body unless used in large amounts just like everything else you use to cook. What happens if you use too much msg? Headaches. What happens if you use too much salt? Stroke. Also a large majority of processed foods in supermarkets like Doritos have msg. The stigma against msg was created by biased and racist anti Chinese food movements in the 1960s quoting a study INJECTING MSG INTO THE BLOODSTREAM of of mice. What would happen if you injected salt or even water into the bloodstream, yeah it’s quite obvious. If you think msg causes brain damage you are either racist or are believing uninformed people basing their argument on racist misleading sources. Msg is no worse for you than any other spice or seasoning. Using cumin in large amounts can also lead to numbness of the face, and countless other spices and seasoning aren’t good in large amounts because they should be used in moderation. Please educate yourself before speaking
In those foods in which MSG does something, you have to decide on what it good to have. If you have bad taste, it may just cater to and amplify your bad taste.
I think of MSG as an isolator, whereby individual taste bud recognition is enhanced. This leads to the fact that sometimes enhanced particular flavor for a set of tastebuds may not be what we really want as our experience.
It's not the first time they say that they have been martial arts instructors. It's time to show us your skills outside of the kitchen. I wanna see both of them do some cool Martial arts moves!
Burmese here - MSG is an integral part of the country's daily cuisine (though not in our house; I use it now and then in my food). Not to say that MSG paranoia doesn't exist in Burma, but still. That being said, I think a lot of the sprinkled amounts are a bit too much? The amount Guga put into the whiskey is what I'd use in a pot of 3~4 servings. If it starts to feel like a lingering thirst/hunger sensation well after I've swallowed a bite, I tend to consider the MSG content a bit beyond necessary.
Basically (most of the time) its a flavor enhancer It all really depends on the food you put it on or in, it is really rare for it to straight up makes something worse
If you actually look close, you can see very little actually came out. He was doing it longer because he was trying to get only a little, and being careful.
MSG and MSG-like substances have a lot of names in the US. I suspect that most of the ones with no difference already have something similar in them. “Textured protein”, “Hydrolyzed corn”, “Yeast Extract”. All the same effect on your tastebuds.

@@user-mx8rw1vj4d most likely indonesia. MSG is normal to be used in East and Southeast Asia. Actually, some snacks and biscuits do contain SMG, even from big names. You can try looking at the ingredients. I remember some youtuber made a content about it, we are talking about globally known brand
Guga: "Korean sushi" My inner Korean: "So you have chosen, death" but in all seriousness idrc, as long as he's enjoying his food, that's the best part of food I mean, a lot of people call pizza and burgers American, call potato fries French fries (apparently they originated in Belgium)
Actually as hard as it is to believe, McDonalds does not use MSG on any item on their menu. (Not including their new crispy chicken sandwich which is the only item with MSG)
@@DeniJasmina I have a hunch you have a bunch of bad opinions just because what you focused on and how you worded it. HFCS? What are you talking about the minuscule amount in the bread and some ingredients, drink one soda and you’ll consume 20X as much lmao. It’s plenty unhealthy but focusing on all that is comical. And using the term synthetic salts lol
MSG is usually only used on foods that normally have a savory type flavor. I was surprised to see that it worked with some of the sweet foods. The only time I ever tried it on sweets it was pretty awful. I think it works well on anything I normally put salt on. Also, monosodium is not part of the flavor enhancer, it is only used to transport the glutamate to the food you are eating. Glutamate occurs naturally in parmesan cheese and certain seaweeds. Parmesan cheese and seaweed contain large amounts of glutamate. There's a reason chefs like to sprinkle parmesan cheese on many things. Does seafood steamed over seaweed sound familiar? Now you know why.
i think they might of been being dramatic of the dude just simply saw the msg on the food and placebo did the rest. like a simple google shows msg does nothing for sweet food. sweet doesn’t have umami to enhance!
@@raydromeda3777 sodium is in like everything lol. but msg is something different, it’s gives a certain mouth feel that sweet foods isn’t supposed to have
@@misanthr0pic idk. I might be the only one but there is definitely an aftertaste that settles in from eating ice cream. I always assumed it was the dairy, but it's to a much lesser degree a similar aftertaste to cheese imo. The umami is subtly there but easy to ignore for me.
So, I'm late to the party, but based on what I saw I want to speculate that MSG works particularly well with umami flavors. Asian food being umami heavy, benefits greatly from MSG. Sweet flavors also benefit. Sour and bitter do not benefit.
Unfortunately Uncle Roger is a supporter of the Chinese Communist Party and their human rights violations, concentration camps, forced sterilization of ethnic minority, arrest torture and disappearance of political detractors, and the theft of TRILLIANS of dollars in tech espionage.

you know that brand of msg reads aji no moto which is Japanese and literally translates to enhanced flavor which makes sense since it basically only enhances flavor and doesn't necessarily improve it
As a Korean, it really bothers me that people call _kimbap_ "Korean sushi." I mean, technically, I guess it's correct, but I'd only use it once to describe what it is to someone who doesn't know what _kimbap_ is. If I had to make a comparison, it's like calling a burger a sandwich; technically, it's correct, but no one really calls it that (at least regularly).
@@bri5029 I don't think that analogy is very apt because the core concept of a Taco is wildly different from a burger. That's not the case with Kimbap and Sushi. Kimbap is literally just a variant of Makizushi (What we refer to as a sushi roll) as Kimbap was created from Makizushi brought over from the Japanese during the occupation of Korea. Now tbf, I would guess that is the core reason why Koreans get upset by someone referring to Kimbap as "Korean Sushi" as it's a reminder of the Japanese occupation, but it isn't that far off in concept.
I've been useing msg recently trying to recreate takeaway food and you really do only need a tiny bit or it can ruin your food instead What he put on that burger was enough for a meal for 5 Still a good vid tho👍
Absolutely right, cook with it, and you dont need much at all. I also use a mix of 80% MSG and 20% Disodium Inosinate, and Disodium Guanylate on meats. All of these are found naturally, sea weed contains MSG, mushrooms contain D inosinate, and dried shrimp have D guanylate.
its weird because it says its supposed to enhance the savory taste of foods, but it made the strawberry sweeter, which is the opposite of savory. sometimes it just works i guess.
maybe try this one dilute mag in water and add it to drinks and use it while making dough for bread maybe that will make it better then adding it in a finished product
Maybe it depends on the order that you take the for at. I think we need a second experiment where Guga repeats this experiment, in reverse! My theory is, whatever goes first will taste good, but the more MSG you consume, then the more you get sick is it, and the more you dislike the taste. So my hypothesis is, if we repeat this experiment, we'll get the opposite result. Betcha 5 bucks on it Guga ❤️
I like to add MSG to my salt roughly 50/50 i find for savory it improves the flavour more than just salt and i use less overall reducing my salt intake 2 ways. From that i make my own "seasoned" salt basically salt/msg/pepper/onion and garlic powders really simple i use it on fried rice, burgers, pork etc. I like to make flavour profile versions by adding for example curry powder or 5 spice with works for me with fried chip/fries all depending on my mood. As it works well in meat flavoured stews even if there are only vegetables but chicken base/stock is used. Thanks for the video, take care, God bless one and all.
Guga, there's a type of MSG you can get called "Super salt" or "Super MSG", it contains salt, MSG, disodium guanylate, and disodium inosinate. Together, these substances have several times the flavour enhancing properties of MSG, or salt+MSG. It would be interesting to see what would happen to the foods that were worse tasting with just MSG. Would the foods taste better? Or even worse? Don't be scared by the chemical sounding names, guanylate is another name guanosine. Guanosine is used similarly to ATP in the body to produce energy. Likewise, inosinic acid is used in the body to produce nucleotides to make DNA/RNA, and it's also used to make ATP. Inosinic acid and guanylic acid are found naturally in some foods, and are produced in the digestive system when foods containing DNA/RNA are digested. If you've ever eaten Doritos, or pretty much any other type of chips/crisps, you eaten disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate. Also to maybe explain what was happening with some of the foods in this video. MSG works better with foods that are already bland tasting. If something already tastes savoury, then adding MSG likely won't do too much.
You SHOULD be scared. MSG is an excitotoxin. It will eventually overstimulate and burn out your telomeres in your brain's nerve endings. Look up "telomeres". When they die, so do you!
@@Tenskwatawa4U just dont overeat MSG.... too much of anything can kill you, if you eat msg at a normal rate and not overeat it you wont get any huge side effects
Watching this in the morning, and was inspired to put a little pinch of MSG in my black coffee. I don’t think I’ll make it a regular thing, but it was good. It definitely disproves the MSG doesn’t work in liquid theory. It made the coffee taste very rich, and robust. Thanks for the inspiration.
So i never tried pure MSG, and honestly it's the first time i'm hearing about it. But i read somewhere in the comments that consuming alcohol with MSG knocks you out faster, i searched on google and others claim it as well. I wouldn't use MSG with coffee, i don't know how it would react with the caffeine.
Just an FYI for anyone wanting to make sushi, you don’t have to grease the knife like Guga did, in fact as I was taught, you’re supposed to cut sushi in one motion, not a sawing motion So a simple sharp knife and confident cuts in one single motion will do the trick just fine
Well that's not sushi he's cutting, it's actually a Korean food called kimbap. May be similar but totally different. You're spot on with your sushi facts and all but it is known to use oils such as sesame to keep the cuts uniform and to prevent bursting.
@@fishymonsta oh I know that lol, I’m just speaking from experience working in a sushi bar haha I just wanted to say my piece cuz some who aren’t as knowledgeable on sushi in general might think that’s how ALL sushi is cut
If you need to lubricate your knife for slicing sushi, plain water will work as well. Get a wet paper towel and wipe the blade before each slice, works perfectly and no residue.

@@yuushouma1263 nop, alcohol absorption doesn’t work like that. MSG is just a salt, that’s correct, but being dehydrated is not changing the alcohol metabolism that much, the punch is just a placebo☺️

@@Jasper_155 the hate against msg is just racism lmao. Msg has no negative effect on the body unless used in large amounts just like everything else you use to cook. What happens if you use too much msg? Headaches. What happens if you use too much salt? Stroke. Also a large majority of processed foods in supermarkets like Doritos have msg. The stigma against msg was created by biased and racist anti Chinese food movements in the 1960s quoting a study INJECTING MSG INTO THE BLOODSTREAM of of mice. What would happen if you injected salt or even water into the bloodstream, yeah it’s quite obvious. If you think msg causes brain damage you are either racist or are believing uninformed people basing their argument on racist misleading sources. Msg is no worse for you than any other spice or seasoning. Using cumin in large amounts can also lead to numbness of the face, and countless other spices and seasoning aren’t good in large amounts because they should be used in moderation.
Please educate yourself before speaking
In those foods in which MSG does something, you have to decide on what it good to have. If you have bad taste, it may just cater to and amplify your bad taste.
I think of MSG as an isolator, whereby individual taste bud recognition is enhanced. This leads to the fact that sometimes enhanced particular flavor for a set of tastebuds may not be what we really want as our experience.
This explains a lot of the weird effects in this video!

Msg adds an umami (meaty) flavour, maybe that’s why it didn’t work too well with the sweeter things
Burmese here - MSG is an integral part of the country's daily cuisine (though not in our house; I use it now and then in my food). Not to say that MSG paranoia doesn't exist in Burma, but still.
That being said, I think a lot of the sprinkled amounts are a bit too much? The amount Guga put into the whiskey is what I'd use in a pot of 3~4 servings. If it starts to feel like a lingering thirst/hunger sensation well after I've swallowed a bite, I tend to consider the MSG content a bit beyond necessary.
Basically (most of the time) its a flavor enhancer
It all really depends on the food you put it on or in, it is really rare for it to straight up makes something worse
MSG has no flavor at all! It stimulates the taste centers of the brain causing over stimulation thus bringing "hidden" flavors.

MSG is usually only used on foods that normally have a savory type flavor. I was surprised to see that it worked with some of the sweet foods. The only time I ever tried it on sweets it was pretty awful. I think it works well on anything I normally put salt on. Also, monosodium is not part of the flavor enhancer, it is only used to transport the glutamate to the food you are eating. Glutamate occurs naturally in parmesan cheese and certain seaweeds. Parmesan cheese and seaweed contain large amounts of glutamate. There's a reason chefs like to sprinkle parmesan cheese on many things. Does seafood steamed over seaweed sound familiar? Now you know why.
NCBI says MSG can kill brain cells...
i think they might of been being dramatic of the dude just simply saw the msg on the food and placebo did the rest. like a simple google shows msg does nothing for sweet food. sweet doesn’t have umami to enhance!
@@misanthr0pic cookies and ice cream do tend to have salt in them...
@@raydromeda3777 sodium is in like everything lol. but msg is something different, it’s gives a certain mouth feel that sweet foods isn’t supposed to have
@@misanthr0pic idk. I might be the only one but there is definitely an aftertaste that settles in from eating ice cream. I always assumed it was the dairy, but it's to a much lesser degree a similar aftertaste to cheese imo. The umami is subtly there but easy to ignore for me.
So, I'm late to the party, but based on what I saw I want to speculate that MSG works particularly well with umami flavors. Asian food being umami heavy, benefits greatly from MSG. Sweet flavors also benefit. Sour and bitter do not benefit.
Just to clarify: it’s called KIMBAP when they say “Korean Sushi”.

you know that brand of msg reads aji no moto which is Japanese and literally translates to enhanced flavor which makes sense since it basically only enhances flavor and doesn't necessarily improve it
It doesn't literally translate to "enhanced flavor" it literally translates to "origin of flavor".
@@YamanoteSensei msg invented flavor
As a Korean, it really bothers me that people call _kimbap_ "Korean sushi." I mean, technically, I guess it's correct, but I'd only use it once to describe what it is to someone who doesn't know what _kimbap_ is.
If I had to make a comparison, it's like calling a burger a sandwich; technically, it's correct, but no one really calls it that (at least regularly).
I have to imagine that not everyone in his audience knows what kimbap is, though.
It’s like calling a taco a Mexican burger. It doesn’t make sense, and since he had to explain it anyway, he could’ve just called it Kimbap
@@bri5029 I don't think that analogy is very apt because the core concept of a Taco is wildly different from a burger. That's not the case with Kimbap and Sushi. Kimbap is literally just a variant of Makizushi (What we refer to as a sushi roll) as Kimbap was created from Makizushi brought over from the Japanese during the occupation of Korea. Now tbf, I would guess that is the core reason why Koreans get upset by someone referring to Kimbap as "Korean Sushi" as it's a reminder of the Japanese occupation, but it isn't that far off in concept.

MSG tastes best when you cook with it not just sprinkle it on it! You need to make a few foods fresh with it to truly see how it works!
Absolutely right, cook with it, and you dont need much at all. I also use a mix of 80% MSG and 20% Disodium Inosinate, and Disodium

Maybe it depends on the order that you take the for at. I think we need a second experiment where Guga repeats this experiment, in reverse! My theory is, whatever goes first will taste good, but the more MSG you consume, then the more you get sick is it, and the more you dislike the taste. So my hypothesis is, if we repeat this experiment, we'll get the opposite result. Betcha 5 bucks on it Guga ❤️

@Dean Finson You got me there. I have no idea
I like to add MSG to my salt roughly 50/50 i find for savory it improves the flavour more than just salt and i use less overall reducing my salt intake 2 ways. From that i make my own "seasoned" salt basically salt/msg/pepper/onion and garlic powders really simple i use it on fried rice, burgers, pork etc. I like to make flavour profile versions by adding for example curry powder or 5 spice with works for me with fried chip/fries all depending on my mood. As it works well in meat flavoured stews even if there are only vegetables but chicken base/stock is used. Thanks for the video, take care, God bless one and all.
a 50/50 mix of MSG and NaCl has more sodium in it than pure MSG
Guga, there's a type of MSG you can get called "Super salt" or "Super MSG", it contains salt, MSG, disodium guanylate, and disodium inosinate. Together, these substances have several times the flavour enhancing properties of MSG, or salt+MSG. It would be interesting to see what would happen to the foods that were worse tasting with just MSG. Would the foods taste better? Or even worse?
Don't be scared by the chemical sounding names, guanylate is another name guanosine. Guanosine is used similarly to ATP in the body to produce energy. Likewise, inosinic acid is used in the body to produce nucleotides to make DNA/RNA, and it's also used to make ATP.
Inosinic acid and guanylic acid are found naturally in some foods, and are produced in the digestive system when foods containing DNA/RNA are digested. If you've ever eaten Doritos, or pretty much any other type of chips/crisps, you eaten disodium guanylate and disodium inosinate.
Also to maybe explain what was happening with some of the foods in this video. MSG works better with foods that are already bland tasting. If something already tastes savoury, then adding MSG likely won't do too much.
Cool
@@attrennux0000 Wtf? Is that lolicon on your profile picture?

You SHOULD be scared. MSG is an excitotoxin. It will eventually overstimulate and burn out your telomeres in your brain's nerve endings. Look up "telomeres". When they die, so do you!

Watching this in the morning, and was inspired to put a little pinch of MSG in my black coffee. I don’t think I’ll make it a regular thing, but it was good. It definitely disproves the MSG doesn’t work in liquid theory. It made the coffee taste very rich, and robust. Thanks for the inspiration.
So i never tried pure MSG, and honestly it's the first time i'm hearing about it. But i read somewhere in the comments that consuming alcohol with MSG knocks you out faster, i searched on google and others claim it as well. I wouldn't use MSG with coffee, i don't know how it would react with the caffeine.

have you tried salf in black coffee? just a pinch tho, not too much
Salt in coffee is good, may just be the sodium
Maumau's reaction to the MSG Jack Daniels was Legendary
Honestly he sounds like he’s a scientist reviewing test subjects
Just an FYI for anyone wanting to make sushi, you don’t have to grease the knife like Guga did, in fact as I was taught, you’re supposed to cut sushi in one motion, not a sawing motion
So a simple sharp knife and confident cuts in one single motion will do the trick just fine
You’re right
Well that's not sushi he's cutting, it's actually a Korean food called kimbap. May be similar but totally different.
You're spot on with your sushi facts and all but it is known to use oils such as sesame to keep the cuts uniform and to prevent bursting.
@@fishymonsta oh I know that lol, I’m just speaking from experience working in a sushi bar haha
I just wanted to say my piece cuz some who aren’t as knowledgeable on sushi in general might think that’s how ALL sushi is cut
If you need to lubricate your knife for slicing sushi, plain water will work as well. Get a wet paper towel and wipe the blade before each slice, works perfectly and no residue.
