Sesame Oil Chicken Soup
Sesame Oil Chicken Soup｜Classic Taiwanese Comfort in a Bowl
Craving that deeply warming sesame oil chicken you’d get from mom or grandma? Sesame Oil Chicken Soup is our take on that classic Taiwanese favorite – rich, fragrant, and made for chilly nights and extra-cozy moods.
We start by stir-frying old ginger in black sesame oil until it’s intensely aromatic, then simmer it with rice wine only – no added water – to create a concentrated soup base. When you dilute it at home with water or stock and add chicken and veggies, you get a pot of soup that feels like it warms you from the inside out.
The flavor is bold and comforting: sesame oil aroma, spicy ginger heat, and gentle rice wine notes all layered together. It’s the kind of soup people reach for on cold days, late nights after work, or whenever they just want something soothing, steamy, and deeply satisfying.
This product is a soup base, so you can build it however you like – add chicken drumsticks or thighs, mushrooms, cabbage, leafy greens, or tofu. Keep it simple for a light supper or go “all out” for a weekend hot pot–style meal at home.
※ This is a sesame oil chicken soup base. Actual contents are soup only – chicken, vegetables, and other toppings are not included.
※ Made with rice wine as the liquid base and contains alcohol. Please refer to the package for full ingredient details.
Cooking Instructions (click to expand)
This product is a frozen sesame oil chicken soup base. We recommend thinning it with water or stock to your preferred strength, then adding chicken and vegetables and cooking until everything is fully done and the soup is boiling.
1️⃣ Stovetop (most recommended)
- Remove the soup base from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature until it can be poured out.
- Cut open the pouch and pour the soup base into a pot.
- Add water or unsalted stock to taste (we recommend starting around a 1:1 ratio). Like a stronger wine and sesame flavor? Add less water. Prefer it milder? Add a bit more.
- Add chicken pieces (such as drumsticks or thighs), plus any mushrooms or vegetables you like. Heat over medium to medium-low until the soup comes to a full rolling boil.
- Simmer until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed, then ladle into bowls and serve hot.
2️⃣ Hot Water Bath + Stovetop (for less cleanup)
- Transfer the pouch from the freezer to the fridge or room temperature until partially or fully thawed.
- Without opening, place the sealed pouch into a pot of boiling water. Make sure the water level fully covers the pouch.
- Keep at a gentle boil for about 8–10 minutes, turning the pouch once or twice to heat evenly.
- Carefully remove, cut open, and pour the hot soup base into a pot. Add water or stock, then chicken and vegetables, bring back to a boil, and cook until everything is done.
3️⃣ Electric Cooker / Rice Cooker (hands-off option)
- Thaw the soup base, then cut open the pouch and pour it into a heatproof bowl that fits inside your rice cooker.
- Add water or stock to your desired strength, then add chicken and vegetables.
- Place the bowl in the inner pot, add about 1 cup of water to the outer pot, and turn the cooker on. When it switches to “warm,” check that the soup has come to a full boil and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- If you’d like a deeper flavor, you can run one more short cooking cycle.
※ Always heat until the soup is fully boiling and all ingredients are thoroughly cooked before serving.
※ Any chicken, mushrooms, greens, or other toppings shown in photos are serving suggestions only and are not included.
Tips & Notes (click to expand)
- Store in the freezer upon arrival and enjoy before the best-by date printed on the package for the best flavor and quality.
- This soup base is made with rice wine. Boiling will cause some alcohol to evaporate, but a small amount may remain.
- Not recommended for young children, pregnant individuals, those trying to conceive, or anyone who needs to strictly limit alcohol intake. If you’re unsure, please check with your doctor or dietitian.
- Once opened and heated, do not refreeze. If you have leftovers, refrigerate and enjoy within 1–2 days.
