In Australia, Nang Delivery—also known as cream chargers, whippets or even the sexy “nanginator”—are small canisters filled with nitrous oxide, which, when injected into a cream dispenser, makes for those delectable dollops of foam that adorn your favourite desserts. But it’s not just cakes and creams that these little wonders can be used for.
Savory as Nang Delivery
The savory flavor is a combination of the flavors of salt and spices, along with umami. Umami is the taste that gives foods a meaty or brothy texture and richness without being salty or bitter. It also accentuates the natural flavor of ingredients and balances their spiciness or sweetness.
This flavor is often found in meat dishes, vegetable soups and sauces and even some cheeses. Dairy products that are savory include onion dip, cheddar with bacon bits and other creamy spreads. Umami is also created in some foods during the Maillard reaction, when amino acids and reducing sugars are formed.
Savory is one of the most important spices in cooking, because it adds that umami flavor to foods. It is also a good substitute for pepper and salt because it has a similar flavor profile. It has up to 30 different varieties, but the summer and winter savory plants are commonly used as spices. The summer savory plant has a lighter, sweeter and warmer flavor than the winter savory plant.
Both the summer and winter savory plants are used to season a variety of foods, from beans to stews. It is also a key ingredient in the dried herb mixture Herbes de Provence. The Germans even used savory to replace pepper during World War 2, as it has a similar taste to pepper but is more effective for lower-sodium diets.
Sweet
This zingy, sweet salad dressing dances on the tongue with a watery symphony of salty, sweet, and tangy elements. Using ripe and firm locally-sourced carabao mangoes is the secret to its subtle, fruity flavor and honeyed sweetness. The nangka bits and toasty, crunchy pistachio nuts bring an extra warm, tip-of-the-tongue sweetness.
Cream chargers, or nangs as they’re known here in Australia, are small metal canisters filled with nitrous oxide—the same thing that gives those delectable dollops of whipped cream their light, airy texture. Buying them is legal, but misusing them has been banned since 2013.
Salty
Nuoc Cham, the Vietnamese staple dressing that graces tables from humble street-food stalls to gourmet restaurants, is a symphony of salty, sweet, tangy, and spicy elements. Its watery texture dances on your tongue, bringing the perfect balance of flavors to any dish it accompanies. It’s a must-have for your trip to Da Nang.
Cream chargers, or Nang Delivery, are small metal canisters filled with nitrous oxide (N2O). When inserted into a cream dispenser and whipped into a liquid, it creates air bubbles that lend creams and foams a light, fluffy texture.
