Intstructions

Pork Chop

1. In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and marinate pork chops for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a deep pan or heavy bottom pot, heat around 2-3 inches of neutral(I like to test if the oil is hot by using a chop stick and seeing if it bubbles).
3. Fry the pork chops on each side for 2-3 minutes

Fried Rice

1. Heat up pork fat in a wok or pan and sauté white portion of green onion and minced garlic on high heat.
2. Right when the garlic starts to turn brown, add in the whisked eggs and constantly mix.
3. Once the eggs start to solidify but not turn brown, add the rice, and seasonings.
4. Add in green portion of green onion and toss.

Serve your Fried rice with the pork chop on top!!

For some recipes you can replace MSG with pickle juice. This works exceptionally well when marinating chicken and pairs well with peanut oil for the frying. I do this when mimicking the Chick-fil-A marinade

People forget that monosodium glutamate is literally just a sodium ion compounded with an amino acid. It’s even in the name!

Din Tai Fung actually uses chicken bouillon powder to flavor this dish and many other items on their menu. So this is a good option if you're still terrified of MSG.

MSG makes me dumb for about half an hour then I feel okay, I rather use mushroom powder cuz it’s natural and still gives umami

Not to rain on your parade or anything but I’m pretty sure “30 Minute Meals” is copyrighted by either Rachel Ray or the Food Network. Don’t be surprised if you get a notice in the future

I thought msg was like lactose. Like some ppl can handle it & others can't

The reason people hate on MSG is not xenophobia lol

MSG is a type of salt. Salt is bad for you. Hence, MSG is bad for you.
