MSG is king of flavor, Fuiyoh!

Saw this video before and I said it was msg and everybody said I was stupid and that it was sugar. It's so clearly msg.

u/crippledchef23 2d ago

Even if it was sugar, that’s an insane amount for 1 egg

u/DrunkRespondent 2d ago

Srsly, only two scoops? Need at least 4.

Uncle Roger would be so proud

Still a better omelet than Jamie Oliver could make.

u/HarryCumpole 1d ago

"Yeay-agh"

u/Ggriffinz 2d ago

My first instinct as well. Perfect amount of msg.

u/El_Sephiroth 2d ago

What's msg?

15

u/Ggriffinz 2d ago

Monosodium glutamate. It enriches the flavor of basically everything and is the foundation to the umami taste in Japanese cooking.

6

u/El_Sephiroth 2d ago

Ok! Thank you very much.

Makes more sense than salt, even though there is a lot there.

8

u/Ggriffinz 2d ago

Yeah it's a meme in general that the more msg the better. Its tied to a beloved internet personality, Uncle Roger who makes a point to put msg in everything in funny ways.

Any chance I could talk you into watching this? It's pretty informative, and I love this guy's style of presentation.

Lit'l kid fukt up!

u/crippledchef23 2d ago

I love the fingers tapping the chin. That’s a thinking face if I’ve ever seen one! Then the act of shifting the powder (way too much for a single egg, regardless of what it actually is) to scramble the egg…so funny!

"UGH, this is the saltiest thing I've ever tasted, and I once ate a heaping bowl of salt!" -Fry

u/Mental-Mainframe 2d ago

There was nothing wrong with that food, the salt level was 10% less than a lethal dose.

u/consider_its_tree 2d ago

I shouldn't have had seconds!

u/ThePandaClause 2d ago

Bender, is this salt water? 

17

u/just-an-astronomer 2d ago

It's salt with water in it, if thats what you're asking

56

u/roddybologna 2d ago

Not salt.

u/calciphus 2d ago

Looks like shredded daikon to me

27

u/roddybologna 2d ago

Or 10 other things before I'd say salt. 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/Demosthanes 2d ago

I was gonna say it looks like powdered sugar to me. It kind of poofs up a bit.

u/nunyertz 17h ago

That is the most fucking american thing ive read.

u/Demosthanes 12h ago

Downvotes for saying it looks like powdered sugar? Lol. Turns out you don't need to be an American to be petty.

u/ShadNuke 2d ago

Uncle Roger would be proud of little niece using perfect amount of MSG! The King of Flavour! HAIYAAA!!

24

u/Elpickle 2d ago

How can you tell it’s salt?

16

u/TheRealAmused 2d ago

It's not got the consistency of salt. Looks like msg.

u/alanna_bam_banana 2d ago

Idk man, this kid doesn't seem fucking stupid to me. Looks like they know how to work a wok well

37

u/Goshxjosh 2d ago

Can we talk about how they cracked an egg then wiped it on their shirt. I crack eggs then wash my hands immediately to avoid cross contamination.

45

u/smartlog 2d ago

It's a little kid lol.

14

u/ParadoxTheRay 2d ago

It's literally the point of this sub

u/ghidfg 2d ago

eggs, particularly in north america are sterile. salmonella isn't generally found inside the shell but on the outside, but they are sanitized at the factory in america.

9

u/Inurian59 2d ago

It's actually specifically BECAUSE america washes their eggs that salmonella can get inside of the shell. It removes a protective layer called the "bloom" that makes an egg impervious to microorganisms. Because we do this, we are less likely to have anything dangerous or dirty on the outside of the shell, but it makes the eggs inside have a not inconsiderable chance of being contaminated with salmonella if not cooked to a high enough temperature. We also don't inoculate our chickens against salmonella.

5

u/TolUC21 2d ago

There was just a huge Costco egg recall for salmonella in a few states

8

u/ghidfg 2d ago

thats a recalled product though. like saying tomatoes aren't safe because there was a tomato recall for listeria at some point

7

u/TolUC21 2d ago

Fair point lol

-5

u/CandourDinkumOil 2d ago

Yep, UK too. I imagine this is commonplace in most countries.

7

u/NuggetNasty 2d ago

AFAIK UK keeps their eggs unrefrigerated and you can't do that unless they're unwashed

10

u/Eirwig 2d ago

Eggs are not washed/sanitised in the UK. Eggs aren't washed in most countries

u/Focosa88 2d ago

American person 👆

5

u/klqqf 2d ago

My concern isnt even to the point of cross contamination- i just feel gross if i do anything less than give my hands a good rinse after getting even a small amount of egg on them

6

u/Focosa88 2d ago

oh yeah me too those mf go under the tap after each step

7

u/HungryPupcake 2d ago

Egg shells are covered in poop here (yes, even in the stores) and the egg whites are sticky.

You're gross lol. Wash your hands!

Not American btw.

Good on that kid for trying to cook.

u/Weary-Material207 2d ago

"Whats wrong? it's only half a lethal dose of salt for humans"

"So I shouldn't have had seconds?"

u/Chick-fil-A-4-Life 2d ago

My blood pressure shot up 20 points just from watching that!

u/Kitchen_Can_3555 2d ago

Love the little chin scratch. “Hmmm… it feels like it’s missing…. Oh I know - a shit ton more salt!”

2

u/Dependent-Green-7900 2d ago

Sodium overload! I’ve seen several cases of people 💀 their kids with salt

2

u/Key-Satisfaction4967 2d ago

I would like a little egg with my salt, please.

u/elvenmaster_ 2d ago

There was nothing wrong with that food. The salt level was 10% less than a lethal dose.

u/Conscious-Struggle45 2d ago

A few hundred years ago this would've been the world's most expensive plate of eggs

u/the_amazing_skronus 1d ago

This is just Uncle Roger propaganda

Am pretty sure that's a near deadly dose for a kid

u/maxdamien27 1d ago

I love how meticulously it puts the oil and the egg and go bonkers when it comes to salt. Lol

u/SomethingAbtU 1d ago

hey kid, i heard you're a great cook, I too would like my salt with a sprinkle of eggs. thanks

u/pocket_arsenal 1d ago

Why is that baby cooking

u/One_Wishbone_4439 1d ago

Johnny, Johnny?

Yes, Papa.

Eating salt?

No, Papa

Telling lies?

No, Papa

Open your mouth.

Ah Ah Ah.

u/Gojira194 1d ago

Why would you let a kid that young cook? It’s like when they let kids onto a kitchen with Jordan Ramsey in it

u/CheddarCheez21 1d ago

She's better at cracking eggs than me

u/KristiSoko 1d ago

SHE HAS EGG IN HER SALT

1

u/jtisheretonight 22h ago

aww that’s really cute. Learning how to cook at a young age is an extremely important skill- it’s a skill anyone can learn and become progressively better at. Looks like she’s gonna improve from this and learn how to make her eggs more sweeter in a healthy way next time!

1

u/skiemlord 15h ago

That’s sugar

1

u/GeoGenesisAUT 2d ago

Is this salt with eggs or eggs with salt ?

u/Mecnegus_Niguerhower 2d ago
