OK. I'm making fried rice and Gen. Tso's chicken from scratch.
Problem is I don't know how much MSG restaurants put in fried rice and genTso. Anyone know? 1/4 tsp or 1/2? Anyone with actual experience would be awesome. Just give me the amount of MSG per oz.lbs.kg or whatever and I can convert the measurements to how much I'm making.
Also, I bought the snack "Bugels" and they still use MSG in their crisps. One of the few that does. I'd say 95% of the USA market turned away from 1990's unhealthy recipes. I'm glad because once they took out all the "bad" ingredients all the snacks became gross.6 foot one inch and 155 lbs person reporting. I need my fat and MSG. People who overeat and get fat make it so that all the snaks are now gluten free and/or carb free/ fat free. Kills it for normal people who can control the amount of intake.
I get gross under flavored shit because are forced to make their products shit taste and "healthy" because their consumers cant fucking stop stuffing their fat fucking faces.

Add a little at a time and taste as you go.

To what?!

I have 4 cups of jasmine rice
I'm adding small diced chicken, diced carrots, little corn, some diced shroom, peas, green onion bits, and scramble egg. Adding soy sauce and frying rice in chili oil. The eggs have some turmeric in it as well.

I've made it before and turned out AMAZING but I I thought it would be better with the MSG to draw out more flavor. After all ingredients the total amount would be about 7-8 cups of product. Or about 1 pound of rice/veggies

The problem is that you have all your ingredients in front of you first.
Actual cook time in the Wok is literally a few minutes just to bring it all together
So ... I can't exactly "taste it as I go" since its such a short process.

The lengthy part is prep, not cooking. I can't exactly check the taste in the prep stage.
