    Hi Guga, here is a video idea for you. I recently learned that snacks that use MSG sometimes also contain Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate (aka DSI/DSG or I+G) to enhance the effect of MSG by 20x-30x stronger (for example, Doritos, Pringles, KFC, Snyders Pretzel Pieces, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, etc).
    From what I’ve seen, some people buy a 50/50 premix of DSI and DSG (for example, by the brand Make It Meaty) and then make a custom mix of 97g MSG and 3g DSI/DSG to make an “enhanced MSG mix”.
    I was thinking the experiment could be this:
    1. Steak + Salt Pepper Garlic (control)
    2. Steak + SPG + MSG
    3. Steak + SPG + MSG + DSI/DSG
    Then maybe you could do a mini test with 2 side dishes (potato based?) to see how it works with and without the MSG+DSI/DSG.
    Anyways, I hope you give it a shot!

      DSI and DSG are the sub-components of the flavour profile that we now know today as "umami". Ramen dashi derived from Kombu kelp is primarily MSG, but comes with a strong DSI & DSG sub-profile, naturally. There's been a lot of scientific analysis on this over in Japan, so you might want to look there for such information. Not saying Guga shouldn't test it, just you'll find a lot of interesting information there.

    My first boss was also the only Chinese immigrants that knew how to cook on our block, and she had been feeding me orange chicken for 30 years as far back as I can remember.
    Though her secret was to use ketchup and apple juice for the sauce, and she'd simply reduce it with orange peels.
    She's no longer around, and we've been struggling to recreate it. It may not be gourmet food, but it was far better than the panda express that ran her out of business.

    That might make sense considering how the Fanta is basically orange "flavor water", but the infused carbonic acid should, in theory, help it just a bit more and basically letting the fanta and seasoning penetrate through while it's cooking in the bag a little bit better, which is probably why it has more Orange Chicken flavor than the other one.

    I don't know what's considered traditional when it comes to orange sauce, but when I make it, I do pretty much the same ingredients, except the chicken stock is replaced with orange juice. Usually fresh squeezed from cuties or whatever other brand tangerines. It makes for a tangy and very orange flavored sauce. Also soy sauce is added, along with white pepper and rice vinegar. You get the salt, acid and sweet all in one and it's freakin delicious.

      UK Fanta looks a lot, actually waaaaaaay more natural in colo(u)r(because it is natural, no artificial colours at all), meanwhile US Fanta looks so insanely unnatural. The orange is too intensely orange, more orange than orange..like neon, dayglow orange. That cannot be fit for human consumption.
