I wish Americans would learn more about REAL Chinese food, like the challenger is making. NOT the fast food oil soaked sweet and sour pork or pineapple chicken : /

[sklanger]

Challenger looking good here, looks pressed for time though!

@CheesyPuffs144 I would say even more so in Japanese cuisine, since it was actually founded by a Japanese scientist after asking his wife "WHY does this broth taste so good?" and his wife replied with "Konbu Kelp" thus MSG was isolated and born afterward.

[CynicalGenius]

Naturally occuring msg, such as found in crab, shrimp, and mushrooms is very different from manufactured msg. It's like the difference beween fresh garlic and garlic powder.

that's the skinny on it huh? lol, how do they translate this stuff? there's no way the language/words work like that to make a pun in japanese

[lonegrim]

Actually MSG is considered a flavor enhancer. The Japanese always considered there to be five not four different taste. The fifth being Umami or 'deliciousness'. The umami taste is due to the detection of the carboxylate anion of glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid common in meats, cheese, broth, stock, and other protein-heavy foods. This taste was scientifically isolated making the additive monosodium glutamate (MSG).

msg? i don't think i've seen an episode where they use that yet!! does it just add flavor?

[LovelyYTRocks]

In some video, I explained to someone that ShangTong = Top Soup (broth).

Is it legal to use monosodium glutamate (MSG) in dishes!?

WTF?? STFU u douchebag

Name a time when Chen or any other Chinese cuisine chef (either Chinese or Japanese) had explicitly used MSG as an ingredient.

Go fuck off

[maot187537]

WTF?? you Douchebag

Have you seen any other Iron Chef episodes?

Name a time when Chen or any other Chinese cuisine chef (Chinese or Japanese) has explicitly used MSG as an ingredient. Kaga has actually noted the best dish he's ever tasted was Chen's chili prawns.

Go fuck off

[GooseHinson]

MSG is synonymous with Chinese food, both authentic or American style.
