When to use it?

Ajinomoto Chicken Powder is an incredibly versatile kitchen essential that enhances a wide range of dishes. It is ideal for stir-fries, where a teaspoon can season up to 600g of ingredients . It works beautifully in soups and noodle soups, dissolving easily to create a rich, flavourful broth . Use it in marinades for meats and poultry, in dumpling fillings, or in braised dishes to add depth and umami . It is a staple for daily Chinese and Asian cooking, helping to prepare gourmet-quality dishes quickly and easily . The 1kg bulk pack is perfect for frequent cooks, families, or small restaurants, offering great value and consistent quality.

How to use it?

Using Ajinomoto Chicken Powder is simple and flexible. For soups and broth, dissolve approximately 1–2 teaspoons (5–10g) in 1 litre of water . For stir-fries, use about 1 teaspoon (5g) for every 600g of ingredients . For dumpling fillings, add 3 teaspoons (15g) to 600g of filling mixture . The powder dissolves easily and distributes evenly throughout your cooking, ensuring consistent flavour in every bite. Store the product in a cool, dry place, close the cap after use, and avoid moisture to maintain its quality . Always refer to the product packaging for specific guidance.

Why is this better?

Ajinomoto Chicken Powder stands out for its authentic, natural chicken flavour and its versatility. Unlike many seasonings that are predominantly salt, Ajinomoto's formulation includes real chicken meat (6%) and chicken fat (1.5%), delivering a genuine poultry taste and aroma that artificial flavourings simply cannot replicate . It provides a natural broth colour, deep sweetness, and retains the natural aftertaste of chicken broth, making the dish richer and more attractive . The powder form is easily soluble, saving you time compared to simmering bones for hours . It has no artificial colours or preservatives, offering pure chicken flavour to elevate your meals . It is a trusted product from a brand with over a century of experience in flavour science, ensuring consistent quality and authentic taste in every dish .
