Tastemade: Authentic traditional style Vietnamese Pho. Every family has their own recipe and this is my dad’s.

It’s so comforting and delicious especially with the use of oxtail to create a rich and luxurious stock. Oxtail also helps intensify that golden and silky color while also adding a more beef-y broth factor.

You gotta start reverse searing your steaks, if not you’re missing out. Perfect steaks to your preferred doneness every time. Make this tonight!

What a perfect winter stew for the season. Bo kho is a delicious Vietnamese stew flavored with ginger, lemongrass and star anise!

This yummy and spicy soup originates from Hue which was the capital of Vietnam in under the Nguyen Dynasty in the early 1800's and is a super rare treat whenever I can find or have it! There's a reason why it's not on many menus at many Vientamese restaurants- it's it's takes quite a bit of time to prep, cook, and can be a tricky dish to make.

Ground beef is stir-fried and cooked to perfection with a super savory & peppery homemade Vietnamese sauce.

This salty ground beef dish was definitely one of my ultimate childhood favorites. It’s a quick dish that’s salty, aromatic and super savory. This dish is served over steamed jasmine rice and often served with some fresh slices of cucumber to cut the saltiness of the beef.

This was always a Trinh staple on Sunday afternoons. My dad would actually start cooking the beef bone broth on Saturday and would continue to cook the broth into Sunday which made for a very deep and fragrant broth. A few things that my dad does differently is his special dry spice ratio, charring ginger and onions; and adding daikon to the broth which adds a little sweetness to the pho without adding too much sugar.

This traditional Vietnamese beef stew is very rich and savory. I love how you can see the French influence in this dish. Oxtails and beef are deeply stewed with ginger, lemon grass, and garlic along with root vegetables, aromatics and it’s also traditionally served with a warm french baguette.

This stew is sometimes red’ish in color with the addition of tomato paste and paprika. I love using oxtails because they really make your stew very rich and dark. What makes this dish a little different from other recipes is that my mom also uses a dash of curry powder, and uses aromatics like star anise and cinnamon.
