“Many people ask if we use MSG in our soup. The answer is no; after boiling for over 24 hours, our soup is naturally rich in flavor with a hint of sweetness. We do not need to add anything to make it taste good. We make our own chile oil, too, and add Japanese vinegar. My personal favorite is Sunho Ramen with shredded pork and Sichuan pickle topping,” shares Goma Tei operations manager Jenny Lu.
