After a little bit of research I discovered that "ajinomoto" is actually MSG. No wonder I haven't been able to find it in any grocery store. Contrary to Justin's beliefs, I wasn't trying to kill you all by way of cancer. Love you! I'm going to try to make it without the ajinomoto and I'll tell you how it is.

Cookbook update
Just wanted to let you all know I finally figured out what "ajinomoto" is. The peruvian dish I put in the cookbook called "Aji de Pollo," calls for 1 1/2 tsp ajinomoto, and I honestly didn't know what it was. When I asked the Peruvian family I made this dish with what it was called in English, they had no idea.

Ha! That's hilarious! Try salt—it may work for you. Plus, Americans are the only ones who don't MSG; we're such cancer-prone prudes!
Thanks, Jodi. Now we'll dare try the dish!
