sounds yummy! thanks!

Please don't use agino-o-motto. It is one of the cause of cancer. I think it is ban in US. Soy sauce should give enough flavoring.

I just bought a pack today.
It's the same as chinese salt or magnesium something, right?

whoaa - so MSG is found in agino moto??? Wouldn't that mean that half the population in Pak who eat out at Chinese restaurants will have cancer

btw - Daagh posted a similar recipe on his ARAD website. I tried it and it came out yummy. I made some modifications that's all like not deep frying the chicken but rather boiling it.

I am not saying that everyone will get cancer because of Msg, but it has lot of side effects so it is good if you can avoid it.

Mahru · Apr 27th, 2006, 10:37 AM

I agree with Lusi, Mono Sodium glutamate is very very bad for you!!! That is why almost all chinese oriental restaurants can't put msg or agino-moto in their foods.
I don't know if it causes cancer but it is extremely bad for your health in general!
It is made from chicken fat.....................YUCKY..................... ........

Mahru · Apr 27th, 2006, 10:37 AM

Also, most of shan masala packets contain msg.

Afshi · Apr 27th, 2006, 10:45 AM

really? i love chinese salt/agino-moto....my mom says you only supposed to put in half a spoon during cooking..but i put 1 spoon or even 2 spoons..i love the taste it brings to my chinese dishes....i dont like to add to much soy sauce to my chicken fried rice....makes it look too brown...
ive heard MSG makes one full faster...is this true?

Mahru · Apr 27th, 2006, 01:40 PM

^^ Afshan, yes, because it is chicken fat (the skin on the chicken is what it is made from)

Diva4U · Apr 27th, 2006, 01:53 PM

msg is not good ^^

Mahru · Apr 27th, 2006, 02:11 PM

Uff Allah Jee....kitni daffa kahoon.....MSG is not good for you.....

Afshi · Apr 27th, 2006, 03:10 PM

so MSG is haram??

nia_khan · Apr 27th, 2006, 03:14 PM

msg and shan masala

is that true

Mahru · Apr 27th, 2006, 05:52 PM

Afshan: I suppose it is haram if coming from a haram chicken's skin

I never thought of that though.

Nia: If you don't believe me pick up a shan masala and read the ingredients. Also, i have seen that not all shan masala contain msg but there are more than one that do.
