Merle, my girl, I implore you to shop at local Asian markets. That's where I get all my mushrooms and most of my fruits and veggies. It's so much more affordable and I prefer supporting local families over corporate health food stores.❤
Agreed, it absolutely infuriates me to no end when I hear those stupid comments. It's literally in nearly EVERY food and protein naturally. And to people saying it's a known allergen are so misinformed. You'd literally be unable to eat anything if you had an allergy to msg. It naturally occurs in absolutely all food groups and we eat it every single day. It's the same as any ingredient or seasoning. Moderation. Like don't go adding tablespoons of it to your food. That's probably really bad for you, just like how the amount of sugar you're likely already eating is bad for you. Love this one, thanks for sharing I'm definitely going to try this
@@djuanadaysable ok that is absolutely false. Idk where you got that data or information from but that is genuine fear mongering. Being someone that graduated from culinary school with food safety and sanitation being part of my degree, and also currently in the process of getting a degree in nutritional food science - I can irrefutably assure you MSG isn't toxic. MSG was originally discovered from kombu seaweed extraction. This method is no longer used in production, and is today now starch and sugar ferment based. You weren't wrong about that, but the toxicity you speak of is non existent. Fermentation of sugars and starches do not produce toxic compounds in a commercially scaled controlled environment, and honestly rarely even in home kitchen environments unless you're just being unsanitary. Glutamates are literally present in all foods, and MSG is just the salt form of glutamic acid. To even activate the glutamate response, salt has to be present which is what makes food taste good. You're so unfoundedly against MSG while I can guarantee you, the vast majority of your favorit foods taste good because of the glutamates present in it. Manufactured MSG already has mono sodium structure and is just skipping the additional sodium step we'd do in cooking by asking salt. Stop fear mongering and grow up. And also, the fear of MSG is rooted in Asian racism and discrimination - and actually has absolutely no connection to nutrition studies.
@@djuanadaysable also wtf are you saying? Sugar isn't toxic by nature. Our bodies need sugar starch to survive. This is by far one of the most uneducated comments I've ever seen on a video. Do more research and let us, the people who went to school for and are in the relevant industry to educate others. Like truly it's baffling where people get a mindset like yours. Vegetables have sugar, they have starches, they aren't toxic. Like do you think bread is toxic. It's essentially extracted wheat starch. Do you exclude any and all forms of potatoes and rice from your diet? Like wtf so fucking stupid
I LOVE desserts and a series where you replicate pinterest deserts from scratch would be amazing!! would love to see cute pinterest deserts that we could actually try!!
6:22 Instead of blanching the shroom noods, you can try soaking them in salted room temp water and it might get a more firm texture to it, kind of like canned mushrooms have.
Also, the cost of those mushrooms were more for the fancy box than the mushrooms themselves. Unnecessary packaging always jacks up the price of produce.
Dr. Peter Rogers has also done a couple of videos on MSG and other food toxins, he's a Stanford educated cum laude student back in the day (brain radiologist by trade now). I'd advise watching his videos on the subject.
Shrooms microdosing helped me overcome my life long addiction to cigarettes and alcohol, I just relocated and they're so hard to come by here, I really need to buy some
OHHHH I know Cooking Bomb!!! Shes awesome... and whoa to that JUG of soy sauce hahah Also for King Oyster/trumpet for sure get them at a local asian market, always much much cheaper... and sometimes even bigger!
Those mushrooms are easy to grow and I'll soon be selling the liquid culture to do so with. But yeah there are plenty of fruiting blocks and or kits available throughout the webs
King oyster is around 2 to 3 USD depends on its distributors but my country's dollar exchange is high so it's also quite expensive to me, compared to other proteins (I live in SEAsia but king oyster is imported from East Asia like Korea or China, so...). Anyway this dish looks delicious, I will be trying this recipe surely when I have this mushrooms at hand! ❤
I just used the rest of my king oyster mushrooms, but I'll have to remember this for next time. I would highly recommend an Asian market?? Unless mushrooms just cost crazy much more in your area?? As someone who also wants to grow my own mushrooms, please figure it out and post a video of your journey. Pls. BLUE EYE SAMURAI SEASON 2 JUST CONFIRMED FYI very exciting
I often wonder if, since mushrooms are more closely related to animals than plants, they will change from being considered vegan in the future at any point lol. I don't think they should, but I wonder.
Hate to tell you this, but I get King mushrooms for $3 bucks & I get 3-4 shrooms per pack! Sometimes living in a place where trends go to die has its benefits. I, sadly, have to avoid msg, but only because I can't handle high sodium foods. BUT, I've found my body has more trouble with highly processed American food than it does with Chinese or Japanese. Thank God, cause I love Asian food.
The nonsense about MSG just shows how well propaganda works on the simple minded. I use MSG all the time as a salt substitute. I grow my own mushrooms and will be growing some King Oyster soon as they need it cooler than most so winter is good time to grow them. Once you have the first batch of spores you can make your own mushroom bags for about $3 a bag and get usually 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of fresh mushrooms per bag so about $1.50ish per pound and they are organic and just picked freshness
Yeah that brand of mushrooms is chronically overpriced. You can usually find sets of the larger trumpet mushrooms in Asian markets for less or similarly priced but for considerably more. Oh!! And if you like sichuan peppercorns I recommend making Bang Bang "Chicken" with king oyster mushrooms as well. You shred them with a fork into long shreds then I tend to toss them with vegan chicken powder and a touch of sesame oil and gently cook them until they're tender, but not brown. Then you assemble a sauce of: soy sauce, black vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, ground sichuan pepper, sugar, salt, and sesame seeds. Julienne some asian cucumbers, put the mushrooms on that, then dress with the sauce. It's great with a garnish of green onion and cilantro. This is the traditional dish, not like the fried stuff people think of. It's "bang bang" because of how the original protein was prepared.
The people complaining about msg probably don’t know how many foods have naturally occurring msg or how many processed foods have it. It can be just listed as “natural flavors”.
Merle. Noodles are not 'unhealthy'. Calling mushrooms 'healthier' than noodles is straight up diet culture. I've seen a few bits of diet culture sneaking on to these videos and it's incredibly off putting. I like your videos. Don't do this.
1:39 Free glutamates aren't an evil ingredient, but isolated monosodium glutamate may very well be because of how they isolate that MSG. Glutamates are naturally occurring in all fermented and digested food, so glutamates are created in the digestive track, but that's still a natural mixture of free glutamates, not purely MSG or the chemicals corporations use to isolate MSG from the other glutamates.
1:58 WOW!! That's crazy! Go to a local Asian market in Chinatown or something. My local place has king oyster mushrooms for $2.99/lb... and this is in NY. Food id &*^%ing expensive here.
The only issue with MSG is if you're allergic to it. Otherwise, it's fine. Heck, I knew someone who *was* allergic (RIP), and took a benadryl, so she could eat mushrooms anyway🤣
Thank you for another mid-video grocery store run because your dedication to doing the recipe justice 😂 it gets me every time. I also really appreciate that “mush-room” joke haha. Looks delish 😋
I literally was just talking about this with my mother the other day I had a friend she said that her and her mother were allergic to MSG I was like OK well do you like Doritos? She said yeah I love Doritos I said OK I said do you like Ramen noodles and she said oh girl I love Ramen , and then I didn’t say anything after that cause msg is in all that stuff.
I agree that the stuff about MSG is racist marketing. My family used it in cooking (in moderation) most of my life. I don't, but there is so much of that stuff already added to foods that there is no real need. Incidentally, MSG was pushed on Western markets for years when I was growing up, as I saw commercials about it on TV all the time. Look up Accent food additive. It's MSG, but they won't call it that. It was introduced and marketed to Western consumers in the late 40s or early 50s. It's more expensive than what we can get in Asian markets, of course, so the company made a lot of money. It's kind of the same issue with the dairy industry (loved your vid on that). Anyways, I remember when you were doing the king mushroom scallop thing, and was fleetingly thinking how great it would be to make noodles out of the the mushrooms. I have cut the stems into strips to add to my actual noodle dishes (along with carrots , zucchini and onion), but this is even better. Actually, it would be great to mix this and wide zucchini strips together to make this dish, too. I've had to cut a lot of carbs out of my diet in the last few years, so these recipes are awesome. Def hit up Asian markets for those shrooms, though. Nearly had a heart attack when I heard the price. Love your videos...thanks for the awesome content.
Merle…. Asian grocery stores are your friend 😅 I have three packs of those mushrooms in my fridge rn and they were $2 each… and I live in Canada where an apple is $7
See msg only bothers me with my acid reflux for some reason. Anytime I use it or eat it, it’s triggers it. But that also just could be how my acid reflux reacts. The. Again I’m suppose to eat bland foods so that’s why lol I hate bland food
Pretty sure you could just use some big boi King Oysters and you'd be fine. They're cheap af at my local Asian grocery. Just that sauce alone sounds bomb to me - I love green onions and sechuan also
this is just boiled mushroom slices with sauce. i believe the sauce wont penetrate if eaten immediately. instead, pan it fry until you heard squeak from the shrooms (sort of GBD/malliard reaction wtv), then toss in the sauce and finish on the pan to let it absorb the flavorrrrr
Hey, Merle loved this as always. Thank you for posting!! I dont mind the light from the window. i dont know if that's a thing or... P.S. this may not solve your expensive mushroom problem but I recently saw a really cool video on how to keep re-growing your spring onions!! It looks really easy and fun, you should give it a go!! And maybe other similar videos and make it into a series!! I'd so watch that!! Love as always ❤❤❤
They normally are sold by weight. Hence why you don't get a lot, but you can see these make a lot. Growing King Trumpets can be done, just note they can be picky about temperature. I grow them and also Black Pearl Kings among many others. Local mushroom growers around you light sell you colonized bags, check your local farmers market. Great video and recipe! I will have to try it. You can do so much with mushrooms as well. Example: Lion's Mane "crab cakes", "scallops" using KT, pulled "chicken or pork" using KT, deep fried Oyster mushrooms that taste like deep fried chicken. Just to name a few. 😂😂
Next Time I get the big King Oisters, I'll try this! Usually they are medium size here.. And I think 3 medium size Shrooms are about 4 Euro. I also did grow some Mushrooms (Oyster Mushrooms), but then I had a Problem with those small Flys, so I have to start over, because they are a real Pain!
I'm not sure about trumpet mushrooms, but my parents have been growing their button mushrooms at home for years. It shouldn't be too hard to find mushroom growing kits, and they are very cost-effective and low maintenance. It also doesn't take a lot of space, so it could be perfect for your space ! Do your research Merle but if I'm not mistaken, North Spore is also a company that does this in the US. I follow them on here, I find their content super interesting 😁
Mushroom grow kits are the easiest way for sure, but I’ve also managed to grow an oyster mushroom by boiling cardboard and mixing it with puréed mushrooms, put in a plastic to go tub with some holes poked in it. It only managed to grow the one shroom but it’s possible!
Love you, Merle, but I've gotten headaches from MSG. Since there is so much disagreement about MSG's safety, why not just be on the safe just in case? There are so many alternatives and I'd rather not risk the health of myself or my family.
Such a stupid comment. Would you say that strawberries, mushrooms, carrots and more are unsafe because people are allergic to those? No. So stop with this stupid excuse. You can’t eat MSG, ok, but that doesn’t make it harmful or bad
It may not "being a thing", but it causes HORRIBLE migraines for me, which was confirmed by doctors a long time ago. If it can do that, there's something just not right about it.
Ok, so is there something wrong with strawberries because people are allergic to it? The fact that you have a reaction; to MSG doesn’t mean MSG is harmful. Such a stupid comment
@@CyanHope The fact that you cannot read a comment and get the idea behind it is actually the stupid part. That's all on you. I didn't say ALLERGIC. I'm saying that it's not as harmless as she's making it out to be, and that making people feel bad for avoiding it is unwarranted.
@@jessicaking9726 they just gave an example by giving an example of being allergic to strawberries, if you are sensitive to msg then don't use it, simple. it's not like something is very wrong with msg little usage sometimes is absolutely fine
My Zion market was having a sale on 5lb (huuge) king oyster mushrooms for $8!!!! ⅓ was 'scalloped' ⅓ was minced, and ⅓ was peeled. I'm definitely trying this!
I would support a whole series of Merle gardening and growing her own veg and shrooms 🎉
Hells yes
I think I need to start my own mushroom farm
@@MerleONeal omg please do
@@MerleONealdare I say a mushroom kingdom 😉
@@MerleONeal the people have spoken!
Merle, my girl, I implore you to shop at local Asian markets. That's where I get all my mushrooms and most of my fruits and veggies. It's so much more affordable and I prefer supporting local families over corporate health food stores.❤
Thank you for speaking about MSG and xenophobia. It will blow a lot of minds if they google ‘vegetables as sources of MSG’

I think I HAVE to now
Also, the cost of those mushrooms were more for the fancy box than the mushrooms themselves. Unnecessary packaging always jacks up the price of produce.
Yes!!!!!! Give me more mushroom recipes 😁🤤 love that you add your touch to the recipes when and where needed
I never considered this! I’m always looking for new grain free noodle ideas. ❤
As a vegan I am not at all anti carb, but I do try to balance how many carbs I take in. This looks like a great low-carb option for noods
Dr. Peter Rogers has also done a couple of videos on MSG and other food toxins, he's a Stanford educated cum laude student back in the day (brain radiologist by trade now). I'd advise watching his videos on the subject.
I’ve actually seen all of the Blue Eyed Samurai! It’s so good and I love the animation style of it too. I’m hoping for another season
MSG is used in Asian cooking for years. And Japan is part of one of the highest life expectancy.
You can get these mushrooms for much cheaper at an asian grocery store if you have one near you.
Shrooms microdosing helped me overcome my life long addiction to cigarettes and alcohol, I just relocated and they're so hard to come by here, I really need to buy some
My last trip 5 months ago changed my life.🎉
I'm a huge supporter of legalizing psilocybin mushrooms and increasing research on them ❤
/trippy_arnold_/
Got psychs😮
OHHHH I know Cooking Bomb!!! Shes awesome... and whoa to that JUG of soy sauce hahah
Also for King Oyster/trumpet for sure get them at a local asian market, always much much cheaper... and sometimes even bigger!
The soy jug 😂
That certainly looks worth a try!
I love cooking bomb! She’s amazing! I even made my own jar of pickled veggies like hers!!
Looks deleeesh! We have K O mushrooms in Toronto Chinatown and they're not that expensive.
Can you send me some
Those mushrooms are easy to grow and I'll soon be selling the liquid culture to do so with. But yeah there are plenty of fruiting blocks and or kits available throughout the webs
Definitely get king trumpet mushroom at an Asian market! That’s too expensive 😮
I grew shitake mushrooms for a while on a small log I got at farmers market. Needed more water than I gave it, but the mushrooms were delicious!
tried this and it works great
King oyster is around 2 to 3 USD depends on its distributors but my country's dollar exchange is high so it's also quite expensive to me, compared to other proteins (I live in SEAsia but king oyster is imported from East Asia like Korea or China, so...). Anyway this dish looks delicious, I will be trying this recipe surely when I have this mushrooms at hand! ❤
I like your hair, super cute!
I've just been using mung bean sprouts as noodles...
This looks absolutely delicious, but I feel like it wouldn't be especially filling on its own. Might try it as a side, though!
I totally forgot szechuan pepper corns. Used to love them.
merle i love the outfit !! also this meal looks 10/10 ..great job ☺️
same! both of the outfits were so cute!!!
Thank you 😊
MSG is totally NOT toxic AND some folk are sensitive to it. To each their own. TQ for this vid! :D
could you boil them to make them softer?
This looks delicious as someone who loves mushrooms, but I rarely have them because of the price, will probably never try this
Just because they look like noodles doesn’t mean they’re noodles 😭
Try shopping at Asian grocery stores. Maybe you’ll get better prices on mushrooms.

Are you interested in slavonic New Year foods? Like from Belarus or Ukraine? We have a couple of interesting ones))

that being $10 a box is rip off, i go to Asian groceries stores in various states in the US and they are never that expensive

@@CyanHope The fact that you cannot read a comment and get the idea behind it is actually the stupid part. That's all on you. I didn't say ALLERGIC. I'm saying that it's not as harmless as she's making it out to be, and that making people feel bad for avoiding it is unwarranted.
@@jessicaking9726 they just gave an example by giving an example of being allergic to strawberries, if you are sensitive to msg then don't use it, simple. it's not like something is very wrong with msg little usage sometimes is absolutely fine
Had a great time watching the video! It was both fun and educational. Excited for the next one!
So glad you enjoyed it :)
My Zion market was having a sale on 5lb (huuge) king oyster mushrooms for $8!!!! ⅓ was 'scalloped' ⅓ was minced, and ⅓ was peeled. I'm definitely trying this!
@northspore - they sell mushroom-growing kits & supplies. Is easy and fun!
thank you!!! gotta look into this
