The food near the Red Temple in Nanjing is also like the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Laifeng community. Wang Kee is famous for roast duck and salted duck, and the duck blood vermicelli soup that comes with it is also not inferior. Duck blood vermicelli soup is inseparable from the internal organs of duck, and Wang Kee started with duck, which also ensures the freshness of the food supply.
Wang Ji's duck blood vermicelli soup focuses on freshness, the soup base is clear, the pale yellow duck fat floats on the soup noodles, and the duck intestines are crispy and the duck liver is delicate. If you encounter duck intestines that have been stored for a long time, they are soft and inelastic, and if the duck liver is not fresh, it is easy to be bitter and fishy. For a simple duck blood vermicelli soup, it first needs to be fresh to ensure the freshness and aroma of the soup base, otherwise the duck is too heavy and can only be covered by a large amount of monosodium glutamate or chicken essence.
The improvement of seasoning in the soup base is also a prominent feature of the duck blood vermicelli soup shop, such as Ye Xin Snack adds a little chili pepper to the soup base, and Yadebao adds chives in addition to coriander to enhance the flavor. Wang Ji's duck blood vermicelli soup uses a little pepper and garlic to enhance the flavor, which makes the duck soup more rich in taste, which is also the biggest feature that distinguishes it from other duck blood vermicelli soups.
Wang Ji's duck blood vermicelli soup is full of portions, there is no complicated matching, and a full set of duck blood vermicelli soup is only 10 yuan, and the ingredients can be added at an additional cost. The vermicelli uses sweet potato powder, which is tough but does not affect the taste, and the soup base is not enough, and the boss can be asked to continue the soup. You can also buy Wang Kee's own roast duck next to it, and taste it with duck blood vermicelli soup, which also has a different flavor.
The location of Wang Ji is adjacent to Xinjiekou and the transportation is convenient. However, Wang Kee mainly sells roast duck and salted duck, and the duck blood vermicelli soup is a small storefront, which can only seat four tables of people, and occasionally needs to share a table.
