On my recipes you will see the use of this seasoning. I have been using this since I started cooking more than 40 years ago. I grew up in a blue collar immigrant neighborhood of mainly german and irish and so our foods naturally used the ingredients that our elders had used in their old countries. The large bottle on the left I found in a local Chinese grocery store and cost $5.99, the small bottle came from another local Chinese store and cost $8.39, what the difference is I am not sure except that the writing on the smaller bottle is all in french and I can’t read french. I will say that the smaller bottle tastes the same but seems to be stronger when I use it, I have to literally use it by the drop in my cooking, whereas the large bottle I use by the half or full teaspoon. I use this seasoning in most meat dishs as it really give the gravy and sauces you make have a nice taste, if you see it in your grocery store (usually in a small bottle) pick one up and give it a try, remember to use it sparingly until you determine if you like it…….a little goes a long way, also cut down on the salt in any recipe you use it in.
