Cheers. One the easiest dishes, just need a good piece of fish! Love simple food like this.

Made a warm beet salad as a side. The main was overcooked salmon

And I cook my rice in the rice cooker the right way

But was it leftover rice that was cooked in a rice cooker and no colander was involved? MSG?

But was it leftover rice that was cooked in a rice cooker and no colander was involved? MSG?

Absolutely, everything by the book per an Uncle Roger + ultra healthy not yet in his book

1, #1 Asian rice, 红国宝, cooked in rice cooker
2, rice washed before cooking
3, no colander, no MSG
4, leftover rice was used for making fried-rice
5, Ultra healthy CDM ceramic 220v rice cooker, not the typical Toxic Japanese rice cooker*

* Japanese rice cooker dominates the US market & leads in functionality. However, it’s most often made with Teflon (PTFE) coated non-stick Aluminum pot, plus aluminum vent lid. Both Aluminum, Teflon coating & chemicals used to adhere the coating are potentially toxic, especially when scratched & over hearted. There’s some cheaper version made with stainless pot but tends to splash everywhere.

no MSG

Well, better fix that. Otherwise, you're going very well.

Don't know who Uncle Roger is, but it sounds like he won't appreciate my fried rice with salmon and furikake

MSG has been witch hunted in the US for years. Personally, I think MSG is innocent, but after 25+ years living MSG free, it has totally changed how I appreciate flavors, there’s no going back.

Sorry Uncle Roger, No.

Believe it or not, 1st time making ribs. Made in the oven at that and finished with tare. Not bad if I can say so myself. #rainyseattledays

As long as no colander was used and a wok was used, you're ok. Lots of leeway if MSG is used. But the colander thing is non-negotiable.

Foods naturally contain msg too lol

Foods naturally contain msg too lol

Yup, Lol in deed, & this is more of a US domestic problem, Asian countries might not have such fear. It all started by bad science from the MDs. Years of witch hunt followed. Even though the current science announced that MSG is innocent, the reputation has been forever ruined.

Bad "science" (what, in the nutrition space, I hear you gasp?) and casual racism is a potent combination, indeed.

MSG good.

I’ve never bought straight msg—but use products that contain it, like oyster sauce, lao gan ma, etc.

Will have to look it up, my East Village apartment was just a couple blocks from Momofuku, used to go there during early days when he was behind the counter slinging bowls of ramen.

I second this. I can't cook with soy, maggi (the one from France, Germany, or Switzerland) and 3 types of fish sauce. Actually, I'm not 100% sure these products contain MSG. They are just delicious so I assume there is MSG in it.

My lunch was mostly beige and MSG free:

egg salad on ham on cucumbers on previous parbaked baguette with chips and a chip on my plate...
