ahhh so basically guys MSG was isolated from a type of sea weed
so just add some kale to your ramen noodles . in other words adding kale is basically replacing the sea weed that msg came from
stuff is perfectly fine just needs its natural buffering agent to 'complete' it for possible worrysomes over it, wich would be kale or green leaf vegetable
Kale doesn't have glutamate that I know of, but I could be wrong. Glutamate or "umami" flavors are found in things like beef, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, different seafoods, Chinese cabbage, etc. That's why those flavors compliment each other so well. Make a steak and what do you pair with it? Mushrooms. Make a seafood hotpot and what do you throw in it? Cabbage, mushrooms, etc.
When I have a noodle craving I usually get the good ramen noodles and throw in lots of fresh seafood, lots of Chinese veggies (I don't know the names but they're leafy greens that we grow), mushrooms, throw in a couple of eggs at the end to let them poach. Very good and very cheap. Outside of the high sodium content it's a really kick ass meal. Asian ghetto gourmet. I make this a lot in the winter and throw in lots of lemon juice from the organic lemons I grew. Maybe I should grow kale next summer.
