why my dishes are always over satiating? [closed]
whenever I cook dishes its always over satiating, I believe it has too much umami on it, and whenever I cook I always feel like being full already by just tasting while cooking. Like its too delicious and you cant eat more of it. Is there a way to get rid of that over satiating taste?
Best Answer
"Too delicious, and you can't eat more of it":
I don't see the "too delicious" part as a problem. Delicious is good.
"Can't eat more of it", as others have pointed out, sounds like it is just too heavy, or too rich. So, as others have also pointed out, it might help to cook some less heavy foods. In general, fish, tofu, and vegetables (especially raw or steamed) tend to be lighter and less filling than meats and heavy cheesy or buttery sauces.
Depending on your cuisine tradition, however, substituting different food items may not be an appealing option. If most of the dishes that you and your family find acceptable happen to be on the heavy side, at least you can serve them along with other things in the meal to add variety, like plenty of plain rice or other simple grain, green salad, and/or steamed, pickled or raw vegetables and maybe a refreshing cold beverage or fresh fruit.

Answer 2
There is a real point here. If, while cooking, you repeatedly season by tasting the current (accumulated) mixture, you may become habituated, especially to the level of salt, and go too far. If you retain a sample of the unseasoned mixture, and compare the flavor to that, you get a better idea of what it's like for a guest, tasting it for the first time.
Answer 3
Interpret, rather than take literally, what your tasting spoon tells you.
Our taste sense is rather heat dependent - and straight-from-the-pan heat seems to make many people under-taste salt and sugar, and over-taste bitter compounds (which would call for compensating with ... you guessed it, salt and sugar). On top of that, you will get a "first-bite taste" that doesn't take accumulating flavours (the kind that only develops after a couple of bites) into account. Also, some sauces will be less tongue-coating (due to lower viscosity, especially of fats!) and thus appear less intense than they are at pan heat.
Try intentionally seasoning so your tasting spoon seems underseasoned but reasonably balanced. Alternatively, don't taste a pan-fresh spoon but actually plate (or let cool on the spoon) a small portion.
