I aged steaks in BLACK UMAMI ate it and this happened!

I'm always trying to make steaks better. Today is no different! This experiment is one I have been asked many times. It's finally time to see if it will improve steaks or just make them worst. The nectar of the Gods has now been put to the test.

Guga: “I’m going to make an amazing side dish and it’s super simple” Also Guga: Breaks out custom dishwear, makes a custom stock, busts out squid ink, home made sauce, and adds in whole shrimp and an entire freakin octopus. 😂❤😂

[@talujahayes1687]

in all seriousness, by simple, I think he just means putting it together.

[@thewhitedread7572]

I mean it is SIMPLE just incredibly time consuming

[@talujahayes1687]

@@thewhitedread7572 I think it also depends if there's a seafood and/or asian market as Squid or cuddlefish ink CANNOT be easy to get a hold of.

[@TheControIFreak]

You can buy the stock, it might not as be as good but it will still be fine. Hardest part is finding the fresh seafood.

[@BakersTuts]

Since you mentioned MSG, here is a video idea for you. I recently learned that snacks that use MSG sometimes also contain Disodium Inosinate and Disodium Guanylate (aka DSI/DSG or I+G) to enhance the effect of MSG by 5x stronger (for example, Doritos, Pringles, KFC, Snyders Pretzel Pieces, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, etc). From what I’ve seen, some people buy a 50/50 premix of DSI and DSG (for example, by the brand Make It Meaty) and then make a custom mix of 97g MSG and 3g DSI/DSG to make an “enhanced MSG mix”. I was thinking the experiment could be this: 1. Steak + Salt Pepper Garlic (control) 2. Steak + SPG + MSG 3. Steak + SPG + MSG + DSI/DSG Then maybe you could do a mini test with maybe another meat like chicken or maybe a potato based side dish or something, so we can see how it works with and without the MSG+DSI/DSG. I can even see the video title already “Food scientists say THIS makes MSG BETTER!” Anyways, I hope you give it a shot!

Considering Leo is the description guy I wanna say Angel actually hit the nail on the head perfectly. "Longer" Umami makes things that are savory just a bit more savory and the flavor is more deep and impactful. He probably didn't mean for it to be as profound as it was but the description was the most concise it could possibly be.

[@FreeNDeed777]

Yah, he has a really good taste buds.

[@devol3829]

Yeah that reminded me of the time as a kid, when you had something very delicious you would keep chewing until nothing was left. In order for the taste to linger longer... lets hope i wasnt the only weirdo who did that lmao

[@kinche7259]

He sort of is.

[@ScifiMike12]

[@scarletcroc3821]

Cause Amgel pretty much acts like a child with certain foods

[@meggiemcguire8114]

Guga: 'Don't you want to grow up to be big and strong like me?' Angel: 'Eh, not really.'

[@jordythebassist]

Those black dots on the squid aren't actually ink, they're called chromatophores and are essentially skin pores that open and close. This is how they change colour from a white-ish colour, to brown and almost black. The ink actually doesn't cause the skin to change colour, the ink is their defence mechanism against predators 🙂

[@Dont_Fear_Phil]

Thank you, love Guga but his facts are often... questionable.

[@90Seconds2Midnight]

🤓

[@jordythebassist]

@Dont_Fear_Phil most welcome :) little known fact about those chromatophores is that cephlapods also breathe through those pores, so that's why they're typically found in very clear water. Murky water is essentially particles suspended in water and would cause them to suffocate, good fishing tip there for anyone wanting to catch squid 😎

[@s4t4n96]

Squid ink + rise = black risotto. It's traditional meal in Mediterranean/Italian/Croatian cuisine. Meal with octopus is very similar to "hobotnica ispod peke", a traditional Croatian meal, usually made with potatoes.

It would be good to see some tests between "dry aged with x" vs "compound butter with x" vs "dry aged with x then cooked with butter".

[@jeffbrown2727]

I recently bought cuttlefish ink and a jar of black garlic at Jungle Jim's(they have ink in little packs so you don't have to buy or open a whole jar😃) to turn into black pasta. Hard to find people with taste experience of squid ink, so perfect timing. Thank you!

[@skyrock1759]

Thanks Guga! That side dish was super simple to make! Just so happened to have all the ingredients lying around in my pantry, only took like 4 minutes to make. Delicious!

[@nicstroud]

0:10 Hopefully there is a cephalopod expert out there to back me up (or possibly tell me I'm wrong) but I'm pretty sure those black spots aren't the ink. I believe the ink is stored and secreted from dedicated ink sacs located between the gills or occasionally behind the eye. Those markings on the cuttlefish are chromatophores which are used to signal warnings or as sexual displays.
