15 Delicious Sizzling Rice Soup Recipes
Updated on March 13, 2023
If you haven’t yet tried the delicious phenomenon that is sizzling rice soup- an exciting and mouthwatering recipe out of China- then we’re here to encourage you to fix that as soon as you possibly can! Sizzling rice soup involves a tasty, usually meat-based broth (but not exclusively) in which yummy veggies, cut meat or seafood, and a very specifically prepared rice are served. This rice is cooked and dried so that it becomes crispy, making it pop and crackle- or “sizzle”- when it hits the broth. Hence the name of the soup! The first few times we tried sizzling rice soup in restaurants, we thought there was only really one way to serve it or one combination of ingredients. When we started craving it at home and looking up how to make it ourselves, however, we were pleasantly surprised to find that there are actually all different kinds of sizzling rice soup that you can make.
