What it is

How people cook with it
Bouillon cubes are a versatile ingredient for adding depth of flavor. They can be used in a wide variety of savory preparations.
- Soups and stews
- Sauces and gravies
- Rice and grain dishes
- Marinades
To make chicken broth, dissolve one bouillon cube in one cup of boiling water. Stir until the cube is fully dissolved. This broth can then be used as a base for soups, stews, or to cook grains like rice or quinoa. You can also crumble a cube directly into dishes like stir-fries or casseroles to infuse them with chicken flavor. For a quick savory snack, dissolve a cube in hot water and drink it like a broth.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to liquid chicken broth, bouillon cubes are more shelf-stable and take up less storage space. They offer a more concentrated flavor that can be adjusted by using more or fewer cubes. The texture is also different, as liquid broth is already in liquid form.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for an easy way to add chicken flavor to their meals.
How to keep the rest
Store unused bouillon cubes in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause the cubes to clump or lose flavor. Keep them away from direct sunlight.
