Korean Samgyetang Kit | Ginseng Chicken Soup Mix | 10.5 oz

Kosbee Korean Samgyetang Kit is an all-in-one ginseng chicken soup mix — sweet rice plus 7 hand-selected ingredients (Korean astragalus, angelica, jujube, chestnut, and cinnamon, with Canadian ginseng) — so you just add fresh chicken for authentic Korean samgyetang, packed and inspected in the USA.

What Is the Korean Samgyetang Kit?

Samgyetang is Korea's soul-warming ginseng chicken soup — a traditional bowl enjoyed to beat the summer heat and to feel cozy in winter. This kit does the fussy part for you: the sweet rice and the herb ratio are measured and cleanly packed, so all you bring is a fresh chicken.

Inside, the sweet rice and the herbs are separated into their own clean zip bags for easy rinsing and prep.

Samgyetang is Korea's wisdom for surviving the summer and the soul-soup that wraps you warm in winter. Soaking the sweet rice and balancing the herbs by ratio — Kosbee has done all of it for you. Just bring this neatly packed kit and one fresh chicken. A deep, rich, traditional hanbang broth turns your kitchen into the finest Korean kitchen table.

Just Add Chicken

Most samgyetang packs on the market hold only 50–100g of herbs, leaving you to buy and measure the sweet rice yourself. This is a generous 300g all-in-one kit with the sweet rice included — so there is nothing else to shop for. Just add chicken.

What's in the Kit

Seven hand-selected ingredients, measured to a traditional ratio:

Sweet (glutinous) rice

Soaked and stuffed into the chicken for that signature creamy, savory porridge inside.

Canadian ginseng

A classic ginseng root that gives the broth its deep, signature character.

Korean astragalus (황기, Hwanggi)

A beloved savory root, simmered to build a rich, full-bodied base.

Angelica (당귀, Danggui)

A warming, aromatic root traditional to Korean home cooking.

Jujube and chestnut

Red dates and chestnuts for natural sweetness and a hearty, satisfying bite.

Cinnamon bark

A warming spice that rounds out the deep, hanbang aroma.

Contains: Tree Nuts (Chestnut).

A Hearty Bowl of Comfort

With ginseng and astragalus slow-simmered into the broth, samgyetang is a beloved bowl Koreans enjoy when the seasons change or simply when they want something warm and satisfying. Warming angelica and cinnamon round it out, while sweet rice, chestnut, and jujube make it a hearty, filling meal — not just a soup.

How to Make Samgyetang

Use the full 10.5 oz (300g) kit per whole chicken (about 2–3 lbs / 1–1.5 kg).

• Prep: Rinse the sweet rice and soak it in cold water for 30–60 minutes. Lightly rinse the herbs, jujube, and chestnut.
• Stuff: Pack the soaked rice, jujube, and chestnut into the cavity of the cleaned chicken. (If that is tricky, just add them straight to the pot.)
• Boil: Place the chicken and remaining herbs (ginseng, astragalus, angelica, cinnamon) in a large pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer on medium-low for 1 to 1.5 hours.
• Enjoy: Before serving, lift out and discard the woody herbs (astragalus, cinnamon, angelica). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an authentic Korean samgyetang kit?

Yes. It uses Korean herbs (astragalus, angelica, jujube, cinnamon) measured to a traditional hanbang ratio, with Canadian ginseng and sweet rice, then packed and inspected in the USA. It is built to recreate the deep, rich samgyetang you would order at a Korean restaurant — at home.

How do I cook samgyetang with this kit?

Soak the sweet rice 30–60 minutes, stuff it with jujube and chestnut into a whole chicken, then simmer the chicken with the remaining herbs in plenty of water for 1 to 1.5 hours. Discard the woody herbs, season with salt and pepper, and serve. One kit makes one chicken.

Does this kit contain allergens?

Yes — it contains tree nuts (chestnut), so avoid it if you have a tree-nut allergy. The woody herbs (astragalus, cinnamon, angelica) are for flavoring the broth only; lift them out before eating, do not chew them. If pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare provider, as the kit includes ginseng and angelica.

How is this kit different from herb-only packs?

Most packs include only 50–100g of herbs, so you still have to buy and soak sweet rice separately. This is a 300g all-in-one kit with the sweet rice already included and portioned to a traditional ratio — just add a fresh chicken and cook.

Samgyetang vs. baeksuk vs. dak-hanmari — which one does this kit make?

All three are Korean whole-chicken soups, but they differ in what goes in the pot. Samgyetang is the ginseng chicken soup: a small whole chicken stuffed with sweet rice, jujube, and chestnut and simmered with ginseng and herbs — that is exactly what this kit makes. Baeksuk is a plainer boiled chicken, usually simmered with garlic and wood herbs such as kalopanax (eomnamu) or eleuthero and served with the broth on the side. Dak-hanmari is the Seoul-style one-chicken hot pot, cooked at the table with potatoes and rice cakes and dipped in a mustard-soy sauce. If you want samgyetang, use this kit as is; for a baeksuk-style pot, skip the rice stuffing and add a few slices of Kosbee Korean Kalopanax (Eomnamu) Wood.
