At least, that’s what sisters Kim and Vanessa Pham recall from their childhoods. Now, it’s also the name of their food brand, which was inspired by watching their Vietnamese mom cook dinners from scratch every night.

It’s impossible to talk about Asian-American food without talking about the vilifying of MSG rooted in bad science and anti-Asian xenophobia. Really proud to be part of rewriting this narrative.
