The seeds are toasted over a meticulously controlled wood fire, steamed to break down the seed walls, then shaped into oilseed cakes in circular molds. These circular cakes, wrapped in paper, are stacked in a hydraulic press and slowly compressed together to squeeze out the oil.

It is beloved for its simplicity, versatility, and durability. Though known primarily as a rice cooker, it's actually a double boiler and steamer. Use it to gently cook braises and stews, steam breads and buns, and reheat leftovers. A simple and flexible cooker with many applications, the Tatung Rice Cooker and Steamer is an icon of classic Taiwanese design and daily life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYun Hai has partnered with Tatung Company to bring the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.shop\/products\/11-cup-electric-rice-cooker-and-steamer-green\"\u003eoriginal pea green\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.shop\/products\/11-cup-electric-rice-cooker-and-steamer-red\"\u003evermillion red\u003c\/a\u003e colors to the US, invoking fond memories of many a happy childhood meal.

The stainless steel Tatung steamers are a healthy, high-quality alternative to Teflon-coated rice cookers, which may contain harmful chemicals that may wear away or be released into the air under certain conditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the largest size that we sell, with plenty of elbow room for heavy duty kitchen tasks, like steaming a whole fish, braising a whole chicken, making bone broth, or simply making that party sized batch of rice you always wanted. It can cook up to 11 cups of rice, which will feed your book club (unless you have some kind of really popular book club). It does everything the 6-cup can do, but on a larger scale. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRead more about the history of this appliance in this installment of our newsletter: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.substack.com\/p\/-taiwan-and-its-steam-cooker\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaiwan and its Steam Cooker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.

Likely designed to mimic the Ajinomoto brand's original MSG tins, the ornately patterned box evokes the aesthetic sensibility of postwar Taiwan, when MSG experienced its golden years in the world of Taiwanese gastronomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreated in Japan, MSG was first introduced to Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. It wasn't until after World War II that Taiwan began manufacturing its own MSG, especially as MSG began to enjoy widespread use in home kitchens and in restaurants. In the 80s, Taiwan even became the world's leading exporter of the seasoning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough MSG may not be as popularly used in Taiwan now as it was back then, it remains a historically important ingredient in Taiwanese cooking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAddressing MSG Misinformation\u003c\/h4\u003eBeginning in the late 1960s, fearmongering in the US around \"Chinese Restaurant Syndrome\"—adverse symptoms allegedly linked to ingredients, like MSG, found in Chinese restaurant cooking—led to disproportionate backlash against Chinese restaurants across the US, even though the same ingredient was used in other restaurants and in processed foods like chips and sauces. This has since come to be seen as a form of systemic food racism, as the claim was supported by US publications without proper peer review or testing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe myth of MSG being a harmful additive eventually circulated globally, causing MSG to fall in popularity. Even Taiwan, who was once MSG's biggest exporter, experienced a decline in domestic sales following widespread health concerns around consuming it. In recent times, there's been a resurgence of embracing this misunderstood ingredient. For example, it's used by some Buddhists in Taiwan to add richness to their traditional vegetarian cooking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19389112\/\"\u003eno definitive proof\u003c\/a\u003e of the existence of MSG sensitivity, and many government organizations, including the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/food-additives-petitions\/questions-and-answers-monosodium-glutamate-msg\"\u003eAmerican\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov.tw\/tc\/newsContent.aspx?id=19450\u0026amp;chk=ceebf354-d158-4b08-b111-639c1ea55f66\"\u003eTaiwanese\u003c\/a\u003e FDAs, list MSG as generally safe for consumption.\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes and Usage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% umami shards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse sparingly as a flavor enhancer to intensify the savoriness or meatiness of your soups and stews, stir-fries, braises, or anything else you’re looking to zhuzh up.
