Make the Perfect MSG Salted Caramel
Caramel is great, but salty caramel with its contrasting flavors is even better. Add MSG to this mixture and you have a sweet-salty, buttery, sticky caramel sauce with a hint of umami (sort of like fish sauce caramel, but no fish and much friendlier to desserts). It is – and I cannot stress it even remotely – very tasty. Eat it with a whipped ice cream cake or with your hands – straight out of the can, like a bear.
