What's the biggest myth you have heard about MSG? 👀 Let's discuss 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Will I argue with MSG haters in the comments? Every single time.

MSG has been catching strays for decades because of a debunked study from years ago. Meanwhile, tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms are packed with natural glutamate and nobody's boycotting pizza.
MSG is literally just a flavor enhancer, it has less sodium than salt, more umami, and used in kitchens worldwide. Some people may have sensitivities, and that's valid. But for the rest of us? It's a game changer. The science is clear. The fear is outdated. I said what I said.

Let me break down this fried rice recipe for you to try!

Ingredients:

· 3 large eggs
· 1 medium onion, diced
· 1 capsicum (bell pepper), chopped
· 2 cups frozen mixed veg (peas, carrots, beans)
· 3 cups day-old cooked rice (jasmine or long grain)
· 2 tbsp soy sauce
· 1 tbsp ketchup
· 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to heat preference)
· 1 tsp MSG (yes, full teaspoon. deal with it.)
· ½ tsp garam masala (because I do what I want)
· ½ cup cooking oil (vegetable or sesame)

Steps:
3 eggs scrambled in hot oil.
Onion and capsicum chopped unevenly because we're not perfect.
Frozen peas carrots beans mix because fresh is overrated when you're busy.
Day-old rice (yes, day old, it's called texture).
Soy sauce for salt. Ketchup for sweetness. Chili powder for heat. MSG for SOUL.
Garam masala because I'm unhinged like that.
Toss it. Plate it. Serve it. Zero measuring. Zero apologies.

Is this authentic? Nope.
Is it delicious? Absolutely.

MSG is over HATED. Uncle Roger would understand. Gordon Ramsay would scream. I'd cook it again tomorrow.
