Royco Usavi Mix Chicken Soup 75g

Description

Traditional Zimbabwean Gravy Thickener and Seasoning

Royco Usavi Mix Chicken Soup is an essential pantry staple in Zimbabwean and southern African kitchens, celebrated for its unique ability to transform simple ingredients into rich, hearty meals. In Shona, Usavi refers to the savory relish, stew, or gravy served alongside Sadza (maize meal). This specialized powder serves a dual purpose: it acts as a robust chicken seasoning while simultaneously functioning as a smooth gravy thickener, ensuring your stews have both outstanding flavor and the perfect consistency.

Dual-Action Kitchen Essential

Royco Usavi Mix is formulated to deliver two important functions in one simple step:

• Rich Chicken Seasoning: Blends a savory chicken flavor with herbs and spices to instantly enhance the taste of your meats and vegetables.

• Smooth Gravy Thickener: Formulated with a cornstarch base that gelatinizes during cooking, thickening thin stocks into smooth, glossy, and lump-free gravies.

Versatile Culinary Uses

This 75g packet is highly versatile and can be used to flavor and thicken a variety of everyday dishes:

• Traditional Chicken Stews: Stir into your boiling chicken and vegetable stew during the final minutes of cooking to create a thick, savory gravy to serve over Sadza or rice.

• Beef & Mutton Gravies: Adds a rounded, savory depth of flavor and thick consistency to beef or lamb stews.

• Vegetable & Bean Relishes: Thicken bean stews, cabbage stir-fries, or tomato-and-onion mixes to make a rich side dish.

Why Choose Royco Usavi Mix?

• Genuine Southern African Flavor: Enjoy the authentic taste profile trusted by households for generations to prepare traditional Usavi.

• Lump-Free Thickening: The fine powder is processed to dissolve smoothly when mixed with a little cold water before adding to hot pots, preventing lumps.

• Convenient 75g Packet: Perfectly portioned for regular home cooking, helping to keep your seasoning fresh and easy to store.

Simple How-to-Use Directions

1. Mix: In a small cup, mix 2 to 3 teaspoons of Royco Usavi Mix with a small amount of cold water to form a smooth paste. (Mixing with cold water first prevents the powder from clumping in hot liquids).

2. Pour: Slowly pour the paste into your simmering stew, stirring continuously.

3. Simmer: Let the stew simmer for 2 to 3 minutes on medium-low heat. The gravy will naturally thicken and develop a rich, glossy finish. Serve hot.
