Kiam Chai Ark (sour mustard duck soup) is one of my favourite soup. I can even eat it with plain white rice. It's a Malaysian Nyonya dish that my grandmother serves every Chinese New Year. The recipe I'm giving today is not the original recipe but one of my variation.
Ingredients (makes 4-5 servings) :
- 1/2 duck cut into pieces, wash and drain
- 1 packet sour mustard which you can find in most asian market like Ranch 99. Chop in pieces and rinse once
- 2 tomatoes cut into sixth each
- 1 packet of soft tofu cut into 1 inch cube
- 1 Onion chop into cubes
- 6 slices of ginger
- Put 1.5 litres of water in a pot. Add the duck and bring to a boil.
- Add the sour mustard, tomatoes, onion and ginger. Simmer for half an hour.
- Then add the soft tofu and simmer for another half an hour.
- Finally add salt to taste if necessary.
Serving suggestions : Rice and 1 or 2 side dish.
I've not taken any picture to accompany this recipe but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

In fact, haven't had Kiam Chai for ages.
Can't even remember the smell of it now.
