Hahah of course they use MSG.It's chinese. You can buy big bags of MSG from Asian food warehouses. I found that amusing. Heaps of takeaways use MSG.Takeaway pizza usually has it.

Soya sauce, oyster sauce. Plus whatever else they may add, ginger, garlic. MSG

I use soy sauce, fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped finely, fresh garlic chopped finely, a chicken oxo cube dissolved in about 1/2 a cup of hot water, and at the end add about a dessertpoon full corn flour dissolved in 1/2 a cup of cold water (must be cold) and stir till sauce thickens. Needs to be a bit of liquid already present to get a sauce, so adjust with additional water/soy sauce before adding cornflour mixture. I also find the type of soy sauce you use makes a big difference, the cheap ones are basically artificially flavoured and you need to use heaps of them and still don't give much depth of flavour, the more expensive ones like kikkoman you only need to use a small amount and give heaps of flavour. I used to buy organic tamari sometimes this has a lovely flavour too.

Try using any of the following: hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, chicken or vege stock, soy sauce, garlic, ginger (minced), 5 spice powder.A few drops of sesame oil just before serving, I always use this in my fried rice.

A lot of places are now MSG free and usually state this.

does msg effect the actual taste! If so what kind of flavour does it add to your cooking! Sorry ive never heard of it before.

Salty taste. Think chicken salt or noodle sachet.

The msg nearly drives me crazy after I have had chinese takeaways as I cant stop drinking. It makes me so thirsty.
