- Taro, peeled and chunked
- Chicken broth
- VV FOODS chicken stock powder
- Rice
- Vietnamese coriander (rau răm)

Preperation
Choose a duck weighing at least 3 kg. Peel and wash the taro, then cut it into chunks. Rinse the rice and finely chop the rau răm and shallots.
Instructions
- Place the duck in a large pot with chicken broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the meat is tender and no longer pink, about 45‑60 minutes.
- Remove the duck, let it drain, then shred the meat into bite‑size pieces and toss with the chopped rau răm and shallots.
- In the same pot, add the rice and taro chunks to the broth; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice breaks down and the porridge is creamy and the taro is soft, about 30‑40 minutes.
- Season the porridge with VV FOODS chicken stock powder to taste.
- Serve the hot porridge in a bowl, topped with the duck‑herb mixture. Accompany with extra sliced raw banana stem if desired and a dipping sauce of soy sauce mixed with a little saté for heat.
