This dish really impressed me the first time I visited Phan Thiet. The broth is rich and a little spicy, the duck is tender, and it's served with a variety of fresh herbs, roasted peanuts, crispy rice crackers, and fried shallots. It's delicious and unique. Let's try making it together!

Steps

1 hour

1

Soak the duck in a mixture of water, salt, and crushed ginger for 15 minutes to remove any odor. Rinse well, drain, and cut the duck into bite-sized pieces.
2

In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder, 1/2 tablespoon MSG, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, minced shallots, minced garlic, chopped red chili and bird’s eye chili (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 tablespoons annatto oil. Add the duck and mix well. Marinate for 30 minutes.
3

Dice 1 tomato. Heat a little cooking oil in a pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the diced tomato and 2 tablespoons fermented shrimp paste. Stir-fry to create a nice color for the broth. Add the marinated duck and stir-fry until the duck firms up. Pour in 4 1/4 cups water (about 1 liter), bring to a boil, and skim off any foam. Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes until the duck is tender.
4

Cut the duck blood curd into bite-sized pieces. Boil separately for about 5 minutes, then rinse and add to the broth.
5

To serve, place some shredded water spinach and banana blossom in a bowl, add Mi Quang noodles, then top with duck, blood curd, mint, grilled rice crackers, roasted peanuts, and fried shallots.
