It's not a noodles that we can eat every day as beef noodles (phở) for breakfast!
It's expensive and I never see any stall selling it in the morning for breakfast!
Not only because of the price (75,000 VND! - about 4 USD!) but because of the taste!
The taste is specially good, but by somehow, to me, it's not a dish with a right flavor, a right color to start a new day! Black! Especially when we look at the big duck leg, is it too much for the beginning of the day?
Noodles with braised duck is specially famous in Chinatown, as it's a part of Chinese cuisine, cooking, where the preparation requires a long time and different secret ingredients!
I don't know exactly which ingredients are required to marinate the duck, to prepare the soup!
What I know is that the duck should be marinated a night before in special dark soy sauce, anise, licorice root, tangerine peel...and then deep fried and braised in the soup.
The dark color of the soup probably comes from the duck marinated sauce!
The dark color of the soup probably comes from the duck marinated sauce!
Anyway the soup is in dark color like an oriental liquid medicine, rich and tasty but it could be strong for someone who doesn't like the flavor of the medicinal herbs!
