Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ajinomoto and how is it used?
Ajinomoto is a brand of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavour enhancer that provides umami taste. Sprinkle a small amount into soups, stir-fries, or marinades during cooking to boost savoury notes without added salt. It's a key ingredient in many Asian recipes for authentic depth.
Is Ajinomoto MSG safe to consume?
Yes, Ajinomoto MSG is safe for most people when used in moderation, as confirmed by health authorities like the FDA and EFSA. It's derived from fermented starches and free from allergens. Those sensitive to glutamate should consult a doctor.
How should I store Ajinomoto products?
Keep Ajinomoto in its original airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. This preserves its potency for up to three years. Avoid moisture to prevent clumping.
What Japanese dishes work best with Ajinomoto?
Ajinomoto shines in ramen broths, sukiyaki, teriyaki glazes, and fried rice. It enhances the natural flavours of meat, seafood, and vegetables, making it indispensable for home-style Japanese cooking.
