Surprisingly Good
I just made some chicken fried rice to test this and it was truly excellent, and a little surprising. When you taste this neat, it's not very strong and tastes more sweet than savoury, but in the food it tastes salty and quite potent - a little goes a long way.

Great MSG
If you think MSG is wrong, go do your research and stop listening to hoaxes / old wives tales.It adds an umami taste to Asian food. It's great for stir fry rice and other Asian dishes.And don't believe that rubbish that MSG is bad for you. It's no different to salt.

Cooking Game-Changer
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) has truly amped up my cooking game. It's become my secret weapon for enhancing the flavor of any saucy meal. Whether it's soups, stews, stir-fries, or sauces, adding a pinch of MSG takes the taste to a whole new level.One of its standout uses is as a slow cooker secret ingredient. Just a small amount of MSG can work wonders in slow-cooked dishes, infusing them with rich, savory flavors that are sure to impress.Overall, if you're looking to elevate the taste of your meals and add an extra dimension of flavor, look no further than MSG. Its versatility and ability to enhance the natural flavors of ingredients make it a must-have ingredient in any kitchen.

But in the context of your question no it is not 'salt', which is sodium chloride. When used in cooking reduce the normal salt by half and add, depending on quantity of food, half to one teaspoon of MSG. This has the effect of increasing the perceived flavour of the food. I use it in cheese sauces to make them taste cheesier, also in soups and stews to increase meaty flavour. I hope this helps.
