Question: Why do people believe that it's Chinese food that is made with tons of MSG!?
Real authentic Chinese food isn't made with MSG!. It's just the crappy American made, "Chinese food," that is filled with tons of MSG!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I completely agree! MSG is there for the American palette and restaurants which lack time to cook from scratch or marinate overnight!. True Chinese home style cooking will never contain MSG in the food!Www@FoodAQ@Com

You're right!. Visit the Chinese restaurants in an Asian country, and the authentic Chinese food is actually really healthy!. The Chinese food that most people here on Yahoo Answers here have tasted are the modified kind of Chinese food!. It has been modified to suit the tastes of the people!.

I'm Korean-Chinese, and believe me, Chinese food isn't unhealthy if you go for steamed or baked foods!. By going for the fried dim sum dishes, you're convincing yourself that Chinese food is unhealthy!. But it's not!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

MSG is supposed to enhance the flavour of ingredients used in Chinese style recipes!. Enhancement is needed or wanted when the ingredients are not fresh, either because they are only found frozen or because of long storage!. I cook Chinese dishes frequently, never use frozen ingredients and never use MSG!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

that is because the chinese food has this taste like MSG that those americans want to copy!. When they couldn't make the taste as good, they accuse the chinese of putting a lot of MSG in it!.
No offence to america!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think anyone is intimating that authentic Chinese food is made with MSG!. !. !.everyone I've ever heard readily acknowledges that it's the buffet-style American-Chinese food that's loaded with the stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

People believe in everything that make them think they are living "a healthy life", especially in the US, where 60% are obese!.!.!.!.
