Instructions to make Vietnamese beef stew (Bo Kho):
- Marinate beef with sugar, ginger, (half portion of the garlic), soy sauce, 5 spice, pepper, and chicken powder. Marinate for at least 20 mins (longer is better).

- Transfer the beef to pressure cooker or casserole pan (or any sauce pan that has thick bottom). Add in tomato paste, coconut water and beef stock.

I had the flavor right b One of the biggest reasons why I love Bo Kho is because it is such a versatile dish. It can start out as a stew and be eaten with a baguette or some rice, and if you're feeling bored of the stew it can be easily transformed into a beef noodle soup bowl, simply by adding some beef broth and a few additional splashes of fish sauce and then garnished with basil and lime. Bo kho may not be as well known as pho, but it's a classic dish you need to get to know. This Vietnamese beef stew has a wonderful depth of flavor from aromatic spices, lemongrass, ginger and coconut water. Where the French version is simple and comforting as a mere braise of beef and carrots with perhaps some tomatoes and thyme for additional flavour, the Vietnamese counterpart is fragrant with lemongrass, cloves, star anise and Chinese five-spice powder, and has a spicy kick when served with Thai basil and red chillies.
