You've probably heard a lot about umami by now, but you might not realize just how many ingredients are packed with this distinctive taste and why they're so useful in a wide variety of recipes. Kenji, esteemed author of The Food Lab and The Wok, joins Dan to chat about MSG and other sources of umami.

I have friends who swore they are allergic to MSG but have no problem gulfing down a bag of potato chips that has MSG as an ingredient.

There are definitely a lot of people who have fake MSG sensitivities but there are also definitely real MSG sensitivities and it's unfortunate that the discourse around it has become so politicized and permanently damaged by some unfortunate discourse that started in the 70s when one person called it "Chinese restaurant syndrome." For me, highly-concentrated MSG affects me very differently than the glutamates that naturally occur in all of the "gotcha" foods like tomatoes and parmesan, and the MSG-heavy snack foods give me horrible headaches that don't happen even with very thick mushroom broth. It was actually noticing the difference between how I handled flavored and unflavored corn chips that clued me into having a problem. It might just be a matter of concentration, or it might be a matter of other chemicals coming along with it (such as having too much salt or some of those other nucleotides Dan mentioned in the intro), but in my experience it's best for me to avoid things that list MSG on their ingredients.

It's probably a histamine reaction. Lots of high MSG foods are fermented, and fermentation creates histamine. Potato chips aren't fermented, neither are tomatoes.

My dad used msg as a flavor enhancement in the 70’s and he also introduced us to prolific use of garlic. To say he was ahead of the times is an understatement. He was a home chef and we were recipients of his interest and talent. MSG got such negative press so I am pleased to see it making a comeback. Excellent video.

Chili crisp over GOOD fresh peaches is next level, my dad goes through a jar a month eating this in the summer. In the summer, I'll combine cold udon noodles, poached chicken, shredded fresh veggies(carrot, zuchinni, squash, etc), and sliced peaches, then toss with chili crisp and sesame oil, then sesame seeds over the top. Soooo good and refreshing.

Late to the party, but thought I'd share. I keep a 32oz deli container full of what I call chef salt. Fist, you combine 25% by weight sodium inosinate and guanylate (I+G) with 75% by weight monosodium glutamate (GSM). Then this new mixture you combine 10% by weight with 90% by weight salt. The I+G significantly boost the umami effects of the MSG and having it premixed with kosher salt just makes for a coinvent and intuitive use. I use this salt on all savory applications.

Great episode as always Dan. What I want to know that no one seems to talk about is how to use the nucleotides more in cooking. Like with the Doritos, is there a powdered form of the inosinate and guanylate available for consumers that I could/should have on my counter just like my MSG that I could be adding? Or a perfect ratio they've figured out that I could mix up to have a seasoning salt with weighed out salt, MSG, disodium inosinate, and disodium guanylate? I would love to use something like this to be able to kick foods like fried rice up to another level of savoriness without having to add ingredients that have a lot of their own flavor like bonito flakes

Unfortunately, they changed their brine recipe when they removed dyes. At least it doesn’t taste the same to me. It tastes like you mixed old Vlasic brine with Claussen pickle brine.

*I follow Kenji on Instagram and was surprised last week when in a discussion about what wouldn't he eat he wrote "I do not see anything wrong with eating dogs. Pigs are just as smart and emotional". I'm still thinking about that!!*

Well, yes, but often people in the Americas and in Europe want to police what the rest of the world should be eating

kinda late to comment but i've always thought the same. i think if you're a meat eater (as am i), it's kind of horrible to decide an animal's fate of being killed and eaten based on whether or not you think it's smart enough. all animals evolve to live according to their needs, so holding it to a human standard is a bit odd. seems very sadistic to look at a chicken and go "you dont seem to be very emotional... so you'll be fine with being decapitated"

No sooner than Dan says there's not many places you wouldn't put chili crisp, the first words that popped into my brain was " Ice Cream, you wouldn't put chili crisp on Ice Cream" as the most absurd combo to pop into MY mind and lo and behold, the next image to appear on the screen and the next words out of his mouth is Ice Cream!🙄

My Polish granny used MSG in many/most of her recipes. They don't taste right if the MSG is removed. Sister has old Polish cookbooks that specify MSG. Perhaps Polacks are immune... 🤣

24:54 I like how you’re not asking if we’re running to the store to buy chili crisp. You know we already have it :D
