From meats to broths to veggies, this umami-rich seasoning is an excellent upgrade from plain ol’ salt that’s guaranteed to leave your guests asking, “What is this?!”
Cremini mushrooms, loaded with glutamic acid, are the heroes of this powdery blend. Combined with aromatics, the mushrooms are lightly roasted and dehydrated to concentrate the umami and then finely ground to create an easy-to-use seasoning powder that you can sprinkle wherever you want a burst of bold flavor. It’s light on the salt, so you can use it on everything.

Tip on the spice grinder...place a quarter sheet of paper towel (think select-a-size torn in half) on the grinder bowl and put the cover on it and grind as usual. This will keep the fine particles from leaking out and keep the lid clean. Grinding a piece of bread for a few seconds is also a great way to clean the grinder and remove any residue without washing and drying. I store mine with the paper towel in it and replace as needed.
That's a good tip, thanks
best tip
Wow what a great tip..u saved thousands of working hours in the kitchens
Nice!
Nice! Thanks a lot, chef!
The person under the table has me dying lol 4:52
I think that might be a dog.
Probably Camp, Grant's dog
Dogs are people too, y'no
@@edmayhew4261 lol u made me hug my lil sleeping pup for some reason
The crystals in parmigiano aren’t msg crystals-they’re tyrosine or calcium lactate.
Exactly.
Thank you. This video had me yelling at the screen. Another thing in this video that I see a lot of food youtubers saying that isn't true is that all sorts of foods contain MSG when they don't, they contain free glutamic acid.
Catch me outside the Chefsteps office lookin like Tyrone Biggums
"y'all got any more of that... umami dust"
Salt on crack
dog
You aint about dat life playa.
Calm down
@@whitealliance9540 You sure about that? twitter.com/TSI_Franz/status/1407768008945139715
No sir, those cristals are Tyrosine, an amino-acid, not msg in any way.
Tyrosine or calcium lactate or leucine, either way not MSG, very weird claim to make
Mainly calcium salts (lactate, phosphate). It would be more likely calcium salt of glutamate if it is there.
@@CrackDavidson1 Yeah also he used a bad mushroom for the dust. Could of used a more high in salt mushroom.
I find it funny how chefsteps is always so scientific yet they perpetuate falsehoods like this
FYI Glutamic acid is an amino acid, too. MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, which he mentions. Tyrosine and glutamic acid are chemically similar to one another. Amino acids are giving food their savory flavor. For example, glutamate and aspartate give tomatoes their specific savory flavor. So no, it's not literally MSG, but it's similar.
Fun fact: Worcestershire sauce has Inosinic Acid (Disodium Inosinate) from the Anchovies which synergies with MSG to further enhance the perceived level of umami
That crazy i use aromat and worchestershire sauce on my eggs every morning n now i know why!!! Haha
i a (inosinic acid) and MSG is an anti ayurvedic combination. Do not eat this.
Season with soy sauce, tumeric and pepper.
@@whitealliance9540 A what?
@@Saturn.argo. look up ayurveda
Ok... anyone else read this comment like it was Zenji Marui saying it?
Used to make one with kombu, dried shrimp and basically everything else in this video minus the nutritional yeast! Awesome video. Why not tomatoes as part of the equation as well...?
My guess would be the amount of sweetness tomatoes would add? I'd probably start at sun-dried rather than roasting and dehydrating.
There's a supplemental video on their website, tomatoes, along with all the umami compounds also has a lot of sugar, which they were trying to avoid in this
Tomatoes taste great in it. Will take a little longer to dehydrate though
Had this one dish with fresh pasta and a cheese ish sauce with chicken. It always tasted so bland. Then i tried it again, but added a fair amount of mushroom powder and i was very surprised to find that each bite suddenly had a different kind of depth to it, and it made it interesting to eat
Actually the white crystals inside the cheese is not msg but tyrosine
Ref : Crystallization in Cheese."2 Published in a 2014 edition of Dairy Pipeline by the Wisconsin Center for Dairy Research
I read that a few years ago when my brick of Tillamook cheese was full of it. It was after they started outsourcing production and quality dropped.
WOWWW! YUMMY EASY FOOD FLAVORING, HOMEMADE….THANK YOU 🥰🥰🥰
This reminds me of 18th century mushroom ketchup. I always powered the solids after making the delicious sauce
I've always wanted to try the townsends youtube channel recipe for mushroom ketchup, thanks for reminding me
@@TheEnabledSecondary if you don't want to make it, I believe Townsends sells it as well via their store.
So worth it to make it. First thing I tried from Townsend's.
Lotta work! I'll be buying it for sure.
Love your channel. Quite literally top first favourite.
Very informative 👏I always like it as I learning 👍thanks guys stay safe God bless 🙌
I love the chk chk chk chk sound effect :))
This seems like something someone will steal and make a lot of money out of, for example here in slovakia we have this thing called vegeta (look it up) and its more pr less the same thing but with MSG, its so good we as a kids even used to put that seasoning on bread with butter
I think Mccormick sells an umami seasoning powder now, pretty similar to this.
@@mattk2370 oh yeah it's been 2 years since they uploaded this vid, i've seen a lot of copycats since then
This is amazing. Thank you.
Any other things you'd suggest adding to the mushrooms that aren't alliums? Unfortunately I can't eat any alliums because of stupid chronic health problems (FODMAPs are an issue), but I'd love to make something like this that was more than just mushroom powder (which is already something on my "to make" list).
Try eggplant and/or cauliflower
Kombu would be tasty
What's the name of that machine you use to grind up all those ingredients?!
What brand of grinder do you use? Model? Thanking you in advance ...
awesome video, super cool recipe, appreciate the under-the-table dude
Saw him scuttle away after 5 minutes in. Very confused!
This video reminds me of one they made a few years back! The "Make Pistachio butter at home"... Yes, I remember it that well!
In both, they pitch a mind-blowing result, something extraordinary. I mean, this Umami powder sounds to die for, seriously!
You only need a professional grade dehydrater/oven for it!
For the pistachio butter you only needed to invest in a 2000$ conche machine.
Guys? Catch my drift?
use your oven.
@@benediktschobel7815 Yeah, of course, I can do that and maybe open the hatch a tiny bit to get rid of the humidity.
Still, I think it's worth mentioning that the good guys at Chefsteps tend to do that: drop a mind-blowing idea and then nuke it with an insanely expensive piece of equipment.
I'll never forget this pistachio butter thing. I was *so* mad at them...
@@vanhoeppen hydrators can be had for well under $100. if that's your definition of insanely expensive, then I don't think these videos are for you. by the way, you can buy a melanger (conche machine) for about $500. although it makes sense that the sort of person who is still butt hurt over a 5 year old video also isn't smart enough to figure out that you don't need the exact same piece of equipment used in the videos, just one that does the same job.
Nice one.. imagine using that in sausage. After the drying it will explode with flavour.
Depends. For the aged stuff you want a good balance of salt, meat and seasoning so the natural flavor comes through and won't effect the texture. In a quick breakfast style one yeah it would blow the doors off commercial stuff. LOL
AWESOOOME, THANK YOU 🎈🎈🎈
You can find those mushrooms at the Chinese markets.
Is there something else we can use instead of a dehydrator?
An oven on the lowest setting, or the sun if you live in a super hot/dry place... maybe other things ?
@@Kavriel super, thanks for the suggestions
Alton Brrown has a method that he uses for making beef jerky and dehydrated fruit. He uses a box fan, and cotton furnace filters. I have used this method for years now and it works. I bought some silicone mesh mats to put my food on before it gets sandwiched between two filters and then bungee cord strapped to the fan. The method works quite well.
Couldn't you chop up the mushrooms and everything in a food processor, or even blend it up to a paste? Seems like it would end up more uniform, and also roast and dehydrate faster due to higher surface area.
That oven 😍😍😍😍
I am sooooo using this!!! Thanks ChefSteps
Don't it's unhealthy
How does this compare to MSG powder/crystals?
wow ,i'll try that for sure . thanks
Is this worth making if you don't like mushrooms? I'm wondering if you would still perceive them in the final flavour profile
I got the powder from Trader Joe’s and to me it smells awful, it hurts my nose.
But I still use it, I can smell it when my burgers are in the air fryer but I don’t really taste mushroom when I’m eating it.
Perfect video, keep it coming
Is there a way to do it without a Dehydrator?
Try searching Dehydrating in Microwave and How to dry mushrooms in your Oven
I just come to listen to the small noises Grant makes. Not disappointed at all
I find the noises very annoying
This looks absoutely epic! Interesting method and use of ingredients. Great explanations. Superb inspiration for my own channel, thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. Hibb ?;^D
What is that dehydrator oven they’re using??? Does it do convection/air frying as well? If so I want one.
It’s a Breville Smart Oven Pro. We have one. Hardly ever use oven.
Just a guess but since ChefSteps has been bought by Breville and is now basically paid informercials... the oven is... let me see. Breville?
I suggest Asian small vegetable knife, then western utility one. It is safer, faster to sharpen, can carry cuttings, it is cheaper. Around $10.
Brand/model of the grinder?
Now I kind of want that toaster oven. Convection, dehydration, and proving?
Still got one sitting in the box for the past few months. This motivates me to open it
What’s proving?
@@gonova8412 proving/proofing is the final leavening stage in baking, after the dough has been shaped for the final time. If you're baking a loaf of bread, the dough usually gets its first rise, then it's punched down, shaped, and placed into a loaf pan. Then it's left to rise for the second and final time. This is called proving.
Dude - two words - brewer’s yeast!
What brand is that oven/dehydrator? I need one of those!
it's a Breville, not sure what exactly is the model, BOV820 or BOV900, but they're pretty similar in fucntionality
Breville Smart Oven Air. It’s great; even has a bread proofing function and an air fryer function.
I bought MSG at my local Asian store. wayyy cheaper and wayy wayy easier.
Also completely different, mushrooms contain guanylate which acts alongside the glutamate found in MSG, combine both (or even some inosinate from fish sauce) for maximum umami.
@@TZerot0 gotta find myself some guanylate powder then👌🏼
Tag Uncle Roger
Msg make you stupid 😂
@@randi-q6k Unfortunately MSG is naturally occurring in all the ingredients used in this Umami seasoning. So even if this lie was true, pure MSG would be any worse than a mix of it with other stuff.
John wick after being the best in killing games: you killed my dog, now im gonna cook you a meal!
Nutritional yeast is so gooooood
Could this be dehydrated in an oven set low?
For sure, but the process will be More longer in time
Great info
Will do
What kind of dehydrator is that?
Anyone know what oven/dehydrator that is?
It’s a Breville Smart Air.
How long is it good for
your presentation and editing is over the top...
msg = flavour
Msg= poison
Awesome!
1 part mushroom powder
1 part dried tomato paste
1 part nutrional yeast
1 part ground bonito flakes
boom, all the natural glutamates you need
or just a teaspoon of MSG
Loving it!! 🤩
Would you scatter it on the steak BEFORE or AFTER frying the steak?
I use it as part of the seasoning before I grill
Does it have mushroom flavour?
I wonder if you could just run it all through the food processor
Note for Vegans and Vegeterrorists:
Omit the Worcestershire Sauce. It contains fish.
You could use miso paste instead which is vegan and has loads of umami flavour :)
I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables!
@@bmartin2949 I'm an omnivore because meat tastes so good
Well actually, the cheese crystals are made mostly of tyrosine, glutamate is only the second most prevalent amino acid in the crystals. 0:41
yes he is cute ... the editing is everything though
Cute? He's sex on feet. That's why I miss the original videos before the breville buyout. All those male model chefs. Still love Grant though.
I could chop mushrooms all day
i wonder why not adding parmigiano when grinding
interesting because they used to make ketchup using ground mushrooms back in the old days
Hi, appreciate your work
Please to bake cake
this has intense bisexual energy no i will not be taking questions
You might want to look into Paul Stamets claims about button mushrooms. Turns out those cheaper mushroom are probably not good to eat in all your food.
I am now going to try umami!! Been reluctant, but you have taken the fright out of it! LOL Also, I use my hard boiled egg slicer to cut my mushrooms.
What do we do if we don’t have a dehydration oven?
Buy MSG powder 😬
You buy one. 99.5% of Chefsteps recipes are actually ads for Breville appliances now. Makes me miss the good ole days when they were advertising Joule because at least that was an interesting product.
Does anyone knows where can i buy their Job outfit
I am going to just use all of these ingredients on a pizza
CHEFSTEPS ILY :))))
Yours sounds better than trader Joe's. I will definitely try that.
Don't sleep, Trader Joe's version is great
One thing to clarify, umami flavour comes from monosodium glutamate, so while it isn't salt, it still does contain sodium.
4:55 doggo
Uncle Roger would approve
Awesome but Why the nutricional yeast?
Same reason as everything else. Glutamate
You can do the same with Dan-O's
Can this be used to fake crab extract for imitation crab meat?
Dudes hilarious... Well done video...
Those crystals in cheese are tyrosine, not MSG. Not sure where you got that idea from.
5:38 oh man I had one of those that's the worst grinder ever it sprays dust all over the place
Which brand/model is it? It seems very effective
Cube up some steak. Sprinkle this on the steak. Make ground beef.
Best burgers ever
You look like polyphia’s drummer man
Cookin up some sick beets
Descubrieron el sazón completo Maggi
pretty sure the cheese crystals are not MSG but tyrosine
Oooh Mami
Most people dont get too much salt , they get way too little potassium
Salt has incredible health benefits
Amd MSG is fine in healthy adults, unfortunately most American adults are not healthy, and msg can mahe " glutamate toxicity" issues significantly worse
3-4 grams daily of Taurine is a freat way to reduce glutamate in the brain
Paul rudd can really cook
you want umami! add MSG!
Uncle Roger be like: hayiaaa 😐😑..
Chefsteps: the channel were brahs send you to paywalls
If I'm going to be blitzing it afterwards, why wouldn't I just throw all the veggies into a food processor rather than do boring knife work which I suck at?
Adding salt is a big no for me. I have looked up the definition and it says this is MSG. The same as MSG.
I want Uncle Roger to watch this video lol
Cheers
Nucleotides + msg = umami synergy
WUSS-TER-SHUH
Where have y’all been!
Okay, the algorithm hid your channel and I feel ripped off...
Anyone have the recipe?
