    The egg itself contains a large amount of glutamic acid and a certain amount of chloride and sodium. After heating, these two substances will generate a new product-sodium glutamate, which is the main component of MSG, with a very pure umami . If you add MSG during scrambled eggs, the umami produced by the decomposition of MSG will destroy the natural umami of the egg itself. Therefore, it is not advisable to put MSG when scrambled eggs.
