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 restorative bowl traditionally 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 adaptogen root that gives the broth its deep, restorative character.
- Korean astragalus (황기, Hwanggi)
- A beloved energy root, simmered to build a rich, savory base.
- Korean angelica (당귀, Danggui)
- A warming, aromatic root traditional to Korean restorative cooking.
- Jujube and chestnut
- Red dates and chestnuts for natural sweetness and a hearty, nourishing bite.
- Cinnamon bark
- A warming spice that rounds out the deep, hanbang aroma.
Contains: Tree Nuts (Chestnut).
A Restorative Bowl of Comfort
With ginseng and astragalus slow-simmered into the broth, samgyetang is the bowl many Koreans reach for on a tired, run-down day or when the seasons change. Warming angelica and cinnamon round it out, while sweet rice, chestnut, and jujube make it a hearty, nourishing 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.
