Bò Kho [Vietnamese Beef Stew]



Nostalgia suggests to this serve stew over a steaming bowl of rice. Or with a crumbly baguette.  My favorite way to have this stew is to serve it with Phở noodles; transforming the dish into Phở Bò Kho

Bò Kho [Vietnamese Beef Stew]

The humble Bò Kho is a meat representative of its cornucopia of ingredients, masterfully cooked. And the best part is, in the progressing days, it will continue to develop flavor as the aromatics (slowly) perfume and permeate the stew. Nostalgia suggests serving the stew over a steaming bowl of rice. Or with a crumbly baguette. My favorite way to have this stew is to serve it with Phở noodles; transforming the dish into Phở Bò Kho
