I have been doing this for ages and it occurred to me that it might be information worth sharing so here it is...
Instead of using stock cubes which contain salt/MSG in my cooking, I use a few drops of Tabasco sauce.
My theory is that MSG is used as it stimulates the taste buds on the tongue rather than adding flavour so tabasco surely does a similar job as it stimulates the tongue
Anyway, for whatever reason, it seems to work really well. I don't use enough to make food spicy and nobody detects it but loves the resulting food
I use it in all my casseroles, soups, spag bol, tomato pasta dishes etc...
Hope that is helpful to someone who is cutting down on salt in their cooking.
