msg free meals

[KySheWolf]

I am needing some msg free meals dealing with chicken, pork or turkey. Also I need help in making sauces, (note you cannot use cornstarch).

ps.. I would love to have a good (not spicey) msg free chili recipe. ( i miss it alot)

and bread machine recipes too.

There are a lot things that contain MSG, I am also careful to make sure that the things that I buy do not contain MSG. Trader Joes has a good selection of prepared foods and stocks that are free of MSG.

i've read that mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese all have naturally occurring MSG, so maybe the OP is looking for recipes that avoid all sources? perhaps you could clarify if you mean naturally occurring or just manufactured MSG. if you need recipes that avoid nuatrally occurring, do you have a list of foods to avoid that you could provide?

[Kajikit]

While MSG is rampant in processed and factory-made foods, if you cook from scratch at home it's rarely used at all. Check the labels carefully when buying your ingredients, and then go for your life. Remember to check the spice bottles too - many spice mixes are msg-free.

Add me to that list too. Do you know anyone that actually has MSG in their pantry?

[ricepad]

I have and (sparingly) use MSG.

[chowser]

I do. Most asians I know who cook at home do, too. Accent.

[ricepad]

Accent? NO! Aji-no-moto!

[chowser]

I've never used aji no moto. But, I don't buy Accent, either. My mom brings it when she comes to visit. Is it better than Accent?

[ricepad]

Nah, I was just pulling your leg. It's the same stuff, just a different brand.

[chowser]

Darn, I thought I was about to hear about a great new flavor.

The Hispanic equivalent is Sason.

Add jfood to the list of rare does he see and never does he make a recipe with MSG.

What Val said! I've been cooking 50+ years and I've seldom seen a recipe that has MSG as an ingredient.

Ky, looks like you are new here...welcome!!! It is rare that I ever see anyone here post recipes WITH msg...you might put "chicken" or "pork" etc in the search box at the top of this page and see what comes up...there will be a ton for your review! Scroll down the page and you'll see a thread on boneless chicken thighs, too. You'll have fun here!
