- The soup my wife makes from Mrs. Chang's (I think) cook book is about
- as good as you can get. The recipe is a bit incomplete, though: Mrs.
- Chang laments the unavailability of coagulated duck's blood and
- provides a recipe without it. Mrs. Chang seems to assume we will
- never have coagulated duck's blood. If we actually get some
- coagulated duck's blood we'll have to find a different recipe.
-
- I like this cookbook, too, and also noticed the lack of instructions
- for coagulated duck's blood. Since it is, after all, coagulated,
- perhaps it is added in shreds or cubes like bean curd.
-
- By the way, if you want poultry blood (duck's is probably
- indistinguishable from chicken's), you can get it at most live poultry
- places, e.g. Mayflower Poultry in East Cambridge or the place on Beach
- St. in Chinatown. It will coagulate by itself, unless you add a
- little vinegar. Bring your own jar.
