Tonight will be a real treat as I prepare for my neighbors a dish that’s seldom offered in the Bay Area, Bún Măng Vịt … a delicious DUCK soup & salad, with rice noodles and sliced bamboo.
The broth in my Bún Măng Vịt is “quiet” (that’s the way I describe a subtly delicious flavor – not “loud”, screaming of sharp spices and intense flavors.) The thick slices of crunchy bamboo will add the perfect texture contrast among the soft rice noodles. I’ll include a generous portion of moist and flavorful duck meat. The duck is served on a bed of finely shredded cabbage, carrot, and daikon.
The accompanying dipping sauce, a blend of sweet quả quất (tangerine), ginger, garlic, and chili, will provide the perfect light, sweet & tangy contrast to the heavier flavors of the duck meat.

It’s delicious. What’s not to like about chicken soup. I like the bamboo shoots in it.
