why does leftover chinese food taste like soap when you microwave it the next day

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 30 23:40:33 2017 No.9366906 >>9366899 I imagine there's something wrong with either the Chinese restaurant you purchase your food from or the plates on which you are serving the reheated food

Cant tell u why, but i offer a solution: fry it. Like get a frying pan, little butter / oil, and heat everything up. That removes the "nuked" flavor of it. Just saying from experience, because i too tried to rehear lefties but it becomes flavorless and starchy

It's literally just what you get when you do the fermentation process for soy sauce or worcestershire, except with sugar or corn instead of soy/wheat mix or anchovies respectively.

>>9368473
Saying it's unnecessary if your dish is well-made is like saying sugar or salt are unnecessary if your dish is well-made.

If you get a headache like >>9368473 >>9368477, that's clinically tested and proven to have nothing to do with MSG. It comes entirely from your 'tisms kicking in when you eat a scary food that isn't a tendie and mommy didn't make.

Many things from your local strip mall Chinese food places are made by using old ingredients. Fried rice is made by using old rice. Wanton soup is made using broth that was made ??? days ago. Everything else comes pre-made and kept for who knows how long.
I can keep going with the details but pretty much you're not suppose to keep Chinese food as left overs.
You suppose to eat it as you order it.
Also if you ever order from a Chinese food place and it tastes like cigarettes that's because it is. Those chain smoking fuckers will come right in and prepare food. Some of them will smoke right over the fucking wok. Yes I have seen from fingers and clothes fall into orders.
This is why I don't eat from just any Chinese restaurant unless I know they're making food fresh and the classic way not the fast food Americanized way.

Faggot who worked in a Chinese restaurant

It's safe to consume. There is no scientific evidence it's harmful and the people who say it is always fall back on anecdotes. Glutamic acid is in so much shit people already eat including:
-Tomatoes
-Cheddar, Parmesan , and other cheeses
-Most canned fish
-Shellfish like oysters, clams, and scallops

Even if there is something in chinese food that causes headaches it's not MSG, unless all of the above foods also give you headaches.

I have a lot of hispanic influences in my cooking and I have alot of Carne and Pork spice blends and MSG is the 4th ingredient in them.
Anyways anytime I cook for my friends they say its the best shit they have ever eatin, so yeah msg is cool.

When I was little I used to not drink or eat anything during the day because of my adhd medicine. My mom would buy me just about anything if it would get me to eat, and I really liked Doritos. After eating them I would always get an awful headache, and it always got blamed on msg. Now that I'm not taking those meds and I stay hydrated the headaches have gone away
