👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Broth: Rinse the pork bones under cold water. Place them in a large stockpot with the duck piece, ginger, garlic, and crushed white peppercorns. Cover with 3 liters of cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Skim and Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Carefully skim off any foam, scum, and impurities that rise to the surface. This is crucial for a clear broth. Cover the pot partially and let it simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the broth is rich and flavorful. The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor.
⏱️ 2 hours - 3
Braise the Duck: After 2 hours of simmering, remove the duck piece from the broth. In a small saucepan, combine the duck piece with 1 cup of the simmering broth, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 star anise. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and braise the duck for about 30-45 minutes, or until tender. Once cooked, remove the duck from the braising liquid and let it cool slightly.
⏱️ 45 minutes - 4
Prepare Noodles and Sprouts: While the duck is braising, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Blanch the flat rice noodles for about 1-2 minutes until softened but still firm. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to prevent sticking. In the same boiling water, blanch the bean sprouts for about 30 seconds until they are slightly tender but still crisp. Drain immediately.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Finish the Broth: Strain the pork bone broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot, discarding the solids. Season the broth with salt to taste. Keep the broth hot over low heat.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Prepare Toppings: Slice the braised duck meat thinly, discarding the skin and bones if desired. Ensure the fish balls are ready to be added to the hot broth.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 7
Assemble and Serve: Divide the blanched noodles among four serving bowls. Add a few fish balls to each bowl. Ladle the hot, clear broth over the noodles and fish balls. Top generously with the sliced braised duck and blanched bean sprouts. Garnish with sliced scallions and fried shallots, if using. Serve immediately.

💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For an exceptionally clear broth, chill the broth after simmering and before straining. The fat will solidify on top and can be easily removed.
- ✓Taste and adjust seasoning of the broth frequently. A good broth is the heart of this dish.
- ✓If using dried noodles, cook them according to package directions, but slightly undercook them as they will continue to cook in the hot broth.
