Try substituting a bay leaf for a fuller, richer flavor. You may want to remove the leaf before serving. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SpongyAneurysm@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago* MSG isn't just enhancing umami, it tastes umami by itself, because the umami taste is triggered by receptors on the tongue that react to some amino acids, one of them being the glutamate in Mono-Sodium-Glutamate. The salty part comes from the sodium, which has its own receptors as well. This stuff is literally made for our taste buds. permalink fedilink source parent
