Taiwan’s Soupy Rice Showdown winners
2025-12-16
"Taiwan’s Soupy Rice Showdown" is a culinary competition celebrating creative rice stew dishes made with locally grown rice. It highlights Taiwan’s agricultural pride and culinary innovation, with categories for frozen and fresh meals. Winners are supported to bring their dishes to convenience stores. In the latest edition, over 70 restaurants competed with more than 120 rice stew creations. FTV reporter Stephany Yang met the winners.
Creative rice stew dishes are presented on the table, featuring peeled chili peppers, minced pork with seafood, and even chocolate-flavored rice stew. Contestants used locally produced rice, paired with flavorful sauces.
The winners of the 2nd Taiwan Soupy Rice Showdown have been announced. The competition, themed "Hometown Flavors," was divided into two categories: Frozen and Fresh. For the Frozen category, the winner combined cabbage stew with xilu pork to create a double-layered sauce aroma, highlighting the nostalgic banquet style. Xilu pork is a traditional Taiwanese home-style dish using tender pork belly braised in a rich, savory broth. In the Fresh category, the champion was also inspired by xilu pork, paired with fried Taiwanese tilapia chunks and topped with sakura shrimp and onions for the finishing touch. Both champions chose domestically produced "Taiken No. 2" rice.
Wei Lian
Fresh category champion
This dish is based on the xilu pork my mother taught me. Taiken No. 2 really brings out its texture.
Huang Teng-Wei
Frozen category champion
Every time you eat xilu pork, it tastes different. I wanted to capture a middle ground flavor that represents the whole essence.
This year’s Taiwan Soupy Rice Showdown competition attracted 71 restaurants across Taiwan, with 123 rice stew dishes.
Huang Chao-Hsing
Agriculture and Food Agency deputy director
We expect the champion rice stews to hit the market next March, available through major channels. Sales are projected at about 350,000 portions, using roughly 33 tons of traceable rice, which will help boost consumption.
The agency will assist both winners in developing frozen meal packs and chilled microwave-ready dishes, making them available in convenience stores nationwide.
