In Nanjing, many duck blood vermicelli soup shops sell soup dumplings, and soup dumpling shops also have many options for duck blood vermicelli soup. The combination of the two has long been a routine. The word soup dumplings in Nanjing originally also had the meaning of one soup and one packet.
The reputation of the chicken soup dumplings is outside, and the word "chicken song" has a lot of shops in Nanjing, each store has some relationship with the chicken soup restaurant, after the opening of the store, the orthodoxy of the "chicken song soup dumpling" has been debated. But regardless of whether the soup dumplings are from the Jiming Restaurant or not, the duck blood vermicelli soup of the old Gulou Jiming soup dumplings is one of the more stable among the many shops that focus on soup dumplings.
The duck blood vermicelli soup has become a supporting role in the soup dumplings here, but the soup base is not sloppy. The duck soup base uses a duck skeleton to make the soup, which is cool and thorough, and the appropriate duck fat will not make the soup base too bland. The amount of vermicelli soup is relatively small, only as a combination of soup dumplings, duck blood fast, duck liver, duck intestines are more delicate and small than the shop specializing in duck blood vermicelli soup, but the duck offal is appropriately marinated, the tofu fruit can also absorb the rich soup, and finally use chives and coriander to enhance the flavor. However, the duck blood vermicelli soup in the soup dumpling shop rarely adds an extra amount of duck offal or selects the accessories of pot rice and fritters.
In addition to the duck blood vermicelli soup, the soup dumplings in the store are also worth trying. The original soup dumplings, crab roe soup dumplings and shepherd's cabbage soup dumplings are all the signatures of the old drum tower. In the past, the chicken soup dumplings of Jiming Restaurant were different from the production of ordinary xiaolongbao, but adopted the method of closing the mouth, which appeared to be larger than ordinary xiaolongbao, and the style was also quite distinctive. However, the taste of the soup dumplings still continues the characteristics of the Soviet-style diet, and the filling is sweet.
The Old Drum Tower also has other snacks in Nanjing, such as red bean lantern festival, wonton and old lo mein, but they are not prominent in each item. Nanjing duck blood vermicelli soup, as the number one IP of Nanjing snacks, also often appears in many large snack bars, such as Yongheyuan, Liu Changxing, Nanjing big-name stalls, etc.; However, despite the size of these restaurants, the focus is not on a small bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup. If you want to focus on duck blood vermicelli soup, you are particular about everything from the soup to the ingredients, and the most authentic taste is often hidden in the market.
