Joy 'N' Escapade: MommyJ Homemade Powder

I don't buy Knorr and Maggi seasoning powders. The pros for using seasoning powders is that they enhance the taste and flavor of dishes. However, we can't ignore the cons, i.e. store-bought powders are full of preservatives, artificial flavoring, flavor enhancer, and other chemical stuff that sounds like tongue-twisters. Blergh.

You may say, a little bit won't harm you one lah. Maybe, but I don't want to take that risk. You might be allergic to some of those funny ingredients unknowingly. And with cancer cases on the rise, I rather be paranoid than be sorry.

So, apart from using Himalayan pink salt and miso paste in my cooking, I'm gonna tell you what are the seasoning powders that I use. Here it is: MommyJ's healthy homemade seasoning powder made from premium/organic ingredients! They are life-savers!

How to use homemade seasoning powder?

MommyJ suggested the following:

For family (with/without kids) meals: Stir seasoning powder into hot water to make instant broth / soup base. Then, add in rice/noodles, vegetables/meat into the broth to make a bowl of delicious noodle soup/rice.

For baby & toddler meals: Make instant broth / soup base as explained above and use this delicious flavorful base to to cook porridge for baby and toddler.

Other ways: Sprinkle the seasoning powder on dishes as natural flavor enhancer, add as seasoning in your cooking (soup, stew, braised dishes, etc), use as marinade for meat dishes.

Here's how I make my noodle soup:

I love adding one or two types of the seasoning powder when I cook noodles soup. For example, I add both kombu kelp and silverfish powders (one teaspoon each) into a pot of hot water (about 4 cups) to make the soup base.

Then, I add celery, carrot, and chicken meatballs and cook until boiling for about 10 minutes. Finally, I add cooked (and drained) organic seaweed noodles (from BMS Organics) and give everything a quick stir for about 2-3 minutes. Season to taste with salt (optional) before serving in bowls.
