Oh Merle if you haven't gotten on the msg train you're missing out. You absolutely need it in your life and it's so vital to vegan dishes in restaurant cooking. It's truly a game changer and not nearly as bad as people think it is. All foods have glutamate in them. Msg is just the salt form of it so you just need to use like a 1/4 teaspoon less salt in your recipes when using msg

I am recently diagnosed as diabetic. Type 2. So, I have been looking for healthier recipes. While not vegan, I am open to anything if it tastes good. I just tried this recipe today. I was absolutely blown away with how amazing the flavor is on this. I didn't get the texture quite right on the majority of it. But, the flavor was fantastic. So from a non-vegan who has had her mind blown...this is a recipe for anyone to try. That marinade...could be used on so many things. A salad? Yep. Burger? Yep. Chicken? Yep. On any baked, fried or grilled veggies? Yep. It is very versatile and gives an amazing umami flavor. 10/10 will have this in the future. I am not a Vegan. I just enjoy good food. This...has me excited to see what else is possible.

So glad to see you more of these videos on here! I know it has nothing to do with this format, but for the next time you do a ranking video, instead of how close it tastes to meat, would you be able to base it on whether it just tastes good or not? I'm a meat eater myself, but I have loved the sort of scienc-y adventures you go on with your cooking, trying some of them for myself, looking for a replacement for meat isn't really my thing. Like to me it won't taste better if its always something else, but it can still be fantastic in its own right, you know?

I normally would be publishing a video this morning but I'm going to take a little time to re-center and collect myself. Keep your eyes peeled, i'll have more answers for you all in the next week or two. Still have lots of exciting videos coming up.
