I’m not a good cook… I am very interested to cook Pork in Sweet Sour Sauce soon….. but there’s one ingredient which i dont understand the word MSG. What is the meaning of MSG?
Appreciate your quick reply. Thanks.
Thanks Rose for posting, MSG means Mono Sodium Glutamate.
nice…
sana may mga bagung recipe pa kayo na ok lutuin dito sa UAE
sobrang mahilig kasi akung mag luto kaso lang di na fresh ang pork dito
kaya parang di ako na sasarapan sa mga niluluto ko.
at parang iba din ang lasa ng karne ng baka dito napansin ko lang.
additional info.. @ rose bruner.. Mono sodium glutamate is the vet chin in layman’s term,..
