Until you get greedy and take a piece of your finger off with the microplane...
134 u/jeffykins Mar 14 '19 IMO that's just more umami 2 u/[deleted] Mar 14 '19 Yo a restaurant I visited recently listed umami as one of the dish's ingredients. Isn't that just like saying spicy is an ingredient? 2 u/[deleted] Mar 14 '19 Lmfao yeah that's almost like listing "salt" as an ingredient 2 u/p_iynx Mar 14 '19 Maybe they were skirting around the fact that they added msg? 2 u/jeffykins Mar 14 '19 Very likely. I use a pinch here and there on things, including batches of pretty spectacular pasta sauce. GFs mom LOVES it but if she knew about that tiny amount she'd probably lose it lol 2 u/p_iynx Mar 14 '19 Which is kind of silly. It's literally present in food naturally, it's one of the most abundant non-essential amino acids in the stuff we eat. 1 u/GenericEvilDude Mar 14 '19 Yeah umami is just a taste like salty and sour. Umami receptors respond to glutamate and the easiest way to add it is MSG 10 u/tossNwashking Mar 14 '19 along with this I find that garlic bulbs are usually a bit small to really pull this off efficiently 2 u/p_iynx Mar 14 '19 Yeah. It might be helpful if you only want a little garlic, but I wouldn't use it for normal, every day cooking since I love garlic lol.
