Hello

Does anyone know of a Korean product that is equivalent or similar to Maggi seasoning sauce? I'm looking for a sauce (not instant ramen) that (like Maggi) contains both:

1) MSG and
2) inosinate and/or guanylate.

I see Maggi at G-Market, but if there is a Korean product I can find locally, that would be more convenient.

Thank you.

I remember seeing something like it at EMart, but it was in a bag, not cubes. I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't know if they still have it. If i recall, it was in the baking section, not the soup section.

I don�t think people would use such things here. �It�s too salty��
If there is something similar than it would have: red pepper paste � sweet -soy sauce - daenjang taste or some sort of combination of these.

The Foreign Food Mart in Iteawon has a Russian section and you will find the stuff you are looking for. It�s not just equivalent but it�s Maggi (or Knorr, I can�t remember)
I�m sure other Russian stores will have these stuffs around the country (Busan, Dongdaemun)

I was surprised to find big bottles of maggi (the sauce, not the cubes) at a restaurant supply store in Busan. It looks like a regular mart but most items are "commercial" size. The maggi was near ingredients for Chinese food so maybe the Chinese restaurants use it.

I'll admit that it's definitely uncommon here. That said, it's really not much different from the stuff in a ramien package. It's a different flavor but ramien itself is also pretty salty.
