Smoked Duck Noodle Soup
In Taiwan, Taiwanese people will use smoked duck’s bone to make a special stock for noodle soup and duck meat for this smoked duck noodle soup. I always remember when I went to restaurants to have Peking duck (Beijing roast duck) with my family and my mother always asked for the bone to take home after dinner. She will use this duck bone to make stock and make rice soup in the morning for us as breakfast. The fragrance and the taste of that rice soup is so amazing. You can feel every inch of your body is awake after the first sip of the rice soup. Ah, such a wonderful memory. Now my mother is not in the UK so I have had to learn to cook this for my husband and I. I decided to cook this smoked duck noodle for us in our day off for our brunch but ever since I cooked it Chris has been pining for more.
I believe a good noodle soup or rice soup can enrich and bless your body even your mind. So here is my recipe for a delicious smoked duck noodle soup

This looks delicious…and I love the homemade stovetop smoker you describe. Everyone can smoke at home! Theresa
Hi Theresa,
Homemade stovetop smoker (The hotel I use to worked for use the same way to smoke the food as well )is really easy and cheap way to smoke any kind of food at home. It’s not so easy or cheap buy a proper smoker so I think this way can help a lot of people who wants to have smoker food at home. Thank you very much for your kind comment.
