It's been a while since I reviewed something from Jin Mai Lang, also known as JML. I reviewed their Artificial Chicken Mushroom flavor way back when, and it did certainly deliver on both the chicken and the mushroom flavor, although the noodles weren't really the best. Here with this variety, we've got a Chinese "stewed pork" flavor I'm not totally familiar with, but I do love trying new things, so this should be interesting.
Today, I'm checking out a new-to-me Chinese noodle company called JML ( short for JinMaiLang), with their JML Instant Noodle Artificial Mushroom Chicken Flavour. I’m going into this one with a specific curiosity: there’s been a big swing toward artificial meat flavors in products exported to the U.S., largely because importing real-meat noodle packs is difficult under USDA rules. In practice, “meat” gets approximated with yeast extract, maltodextrin, soy protein, and similar additives - sometimes convincingly, sometimes not - so I’m treating this as a flavor exercise first and seeing where it lands.
