Vietnamese Duck Porridge (Chao vit)

(Vietnamese Duck Porridge, Duck Congee)

Chao vit is a traditional dish. This rice porridge is made with cooked or steamed pieces of duck meat as the main ingredient. Other ingredients include shallots, fish sauce, carrots, ginger, green onions, coriander, black pepper, and broken rice, while chunks of coagulated blood are not that common, but can be found at some street stalls who specialize in chao vit.


This hot rice porridge is especially popular on colder days of the year. It's often served with banh trang, sesame seed-topped rice crackers and a dipping sauce on the side.
