Miwon (미원) is a well-known Korean brand of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a crystalline powder used as a flavour enhancer to add a savory 'umami' taste to dishes. This pure MSG is derived from fermented sugarcane and tapioca, creating a concentrated savory flavour that deepens the taste of soups, stews, and marinades. It is a fundamental ingredient in many Korean kitchens, used to balance and round out the flavours in everything from kimchi jjigae to seasoned vegetables (namul). To use, simply add a small pinch to your cooking, similar to how you would use salt, to bring out the natural deliciousness of your ingredients. A little goes a long way in enhancing the overall taste profile of your meal. This product is a staple for anyone looking to replicate the authentic depth of flavour found in Korean cuisine. Contains Monosodium Glutamate (E621).
