About this product
Tien Chu Ve Tsin is a flavour enhancer from China that is often used in Asian cooking. It consists mainly of monosodium glutamate (MSG), which provides the umami taste: a fifth taste alongside sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
Monosodium glutamate has been in use since 1908, after its discovery by the Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda.
Usage and preparation
Use Tien Chu Ve Tsin to give dishes a rich, full flavour and to bring out the natural taste of the ingredients. It suits soups, stir-fries and sauces, for example.
