Unit 17 7 Premier Park Road London NW10 7NZ Review: From dull rice to nice rice. - Made my fried rice taste like Chinese takeaway style fried rice. Thats all I do with it. I'm on my second bag. Its a flavour enhancer, like salt. There's more you cand do with it. Heard someone say they add it to cocktails. Maybe I'm not that adventurous. Nice fried rice though.

But in the context of your question no it is not 'salt', which is sodium chloride. When used in cooking reduce the normal salt by half and add, depending on quantity of food, half to one teaspoon of MSG. This has the effect of increasing the perceived flavour of the food. I use it in cheese sauces to make them taste cheesier, also in soups and stews to increase meaty flavour. I hope this helps. P.S adding more than about a half to one teaspoon of MSG does NOT result in increased flavour. **Q: How do you know how much to use?** A: I just sprinkle a little on towards the end of cooking to taste. It's also worth noting that by weight it actually contains less Sodium than regular salt. **Q: Hi. It is suitable for vegetarians?** A: I understand that this is suitable for vegetarians. **Q: How many calories are in this please?** A: There are 282 calories / 100g ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From dull rice to nice rice. *by A***R on 20 November 2025* Made my fried rice taste like Chinese takeaway style fried rice.
