Lang Son has many delicious specialties, among them, Phở vịt quay (Roasted Duck Pho) leaves a lot of impression on diners and tourists coming here. This dish makes a difference thanks to the marinated duck meat that creates the unique flavor of the mountains and forests of Lang Son. The chef combines this dish with rich broth to create a delicious bowl of phở vịt quay.
Specialties
Phở vịt quay is like any other bowl of pho, including pho noodles, pepper, onions, and bone broth… But instead of beef or chicken, roasted duck is used in this dish. Duck meat with beautiful, fragrant honey-colored shiny skin looks so eye-catching. Roasted duck meat is processed through many stages to perfect its deliciousness. Specifically, the duck is pre-processed, cleaned, and marinated with flavorings such as móc mật (Clausena indica) leaves, garlic, onions, soy sauce, and tofu… in which, móc mật leaves play a key role in this dish.
Finally, the duck skin is coated with fragrant honey and transferred to the roasting stage. The duck will be roasted on a red charcoal stove. A quality duck must not burn, the skin must be the correct color, and the meat should be delicious and rich. The water taken from the duck’s belly is drained and poured into a bowl of pho.
To increase the appeal, it is impossible not to mention the sour bamboo shoots made to eat with phở vịt quay. The pickled bamboo shoots are crispy and sour, served with fatty duck meat, helping to balance the greasiness of the dish, making the bowl of pho delicious, and sweet, without being greasy.
