Knorr is the worst .... dun ever use them ... they dun declare their their full ingredients to authorities..

 

[AhMeng]

[The_Hypocrite]

Everything is contaminated so jut eat and let live..or everything in moderation ..

 

[tanwahtiu]

use them for fried rice or fry mee hoon not bad.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Stock cubes are just like those MSG laden soup base packets in instant noodles.
Take in moderation and real cooks dun use them.

Here's the link. Stock cubes are basically dehydrated stock (concentrate).

What goes inside is anyone's guess.

I say take in moderation lah.

I often visit the Supermarket & read the labels. I would NOT recommend the Knorr brand. There are brands that don't have all those additives. In Spore you can find them at Cold Storage but the prices of these products is higher. Can't recall the brand name but you can find them Cold Storage. Or try to make your own stock from vegetables.

boil some water with ikan bilis... simple stock soup.

Use this instead if you don't have time to make stocks

Knorr stock cubes and powders have salt and msg listed as the first two ingredients.

Same same here.

I like savoury oatmeal.
Drop a cube to make soup, add salmon belly small slices, pieces of pork belly chopped very small, some minced pork, chopped onions, fried garlic, sambal chilli, shitaki mushrooms pulled to small pieces,. bring to boil, chuck in 4 spoons of Quaker oatmeal and fermented fish sauce to taste, beat up an egg and chucked that in and good delicious porridge for breakfast.

Sadly cannot buy ju tou pi (pig head skin) and roast pork in this country. I am thinking of buying that and smuggling that back here. Add some of that chopped to small pieces into the porridge and that will even be better.

Pii Joetys... since you are in Thailand... let me tell you about some dark secrets about Knorr...Knorr was previously owned by Bestfoods... it was acquired by Unilever in 2002-3... Bestfoods R&D has a track record of not declaring full ingredient list and formulation to Thailand FDA... so you can expect lots of undeclared chemicals in there....good luck...

Thais can even use pong churod mixed with nam pla as a dip/comdiment

 

[eatshitndie]

try cannabis-laced soup stock... gives you the extra ummhhh! :p

Thanks to you especially. This is an eye opener. Knorr is the best selling brand here I must say, the name became a generic for all stock cubes. Fuxx my fridge is packed with them got to go throw them all away now.
