    Thank you for presenting this Vietnamese dish so beautifully! Bo kho is a bomb, isn't it :D. I would suggest you pan-fry the ginger, star anise and cinnamon separately in a dry pan, then put them in a bag before putting into the stew pot. That way they can be taken out easily after you're done cooking. At least that's how most Vietnamese do.

    Just tasted this dish at 2 different resturants in singapore and it is fantastic ! But the chinese in me is thinking of putting potatoes in the stew. Of course the potatoes will be panfried first so it doesnt completely melt into the dish. Anyone has done it with potatoes? Thanks

    The truly Vietnamese style of this dish will also have white onions slices, topped with basil, not coriander leaves, and served with lemon wedge and a mixture of slat and pepper. But I do like your use of tomato paste here.

    I use the same cut as you but I also use beef tongue. Not a lot of people know about beef tongue but it's really tasty and rich in Bo kho. You would have to slow cook it a bit longer but it's worth the wait!

    Your food looks amazing, but I really wish there were some more vegetable-based options. Considering 14-18% of all greenhouse gas emissions are caused by livestock production, celebrity chefs have a massive potential to create positive change by providing inspiration for a more plant-based diet.

    Beautiful dish! Hey Marion, I had a version of this dish at a fav Cambodian restaurant of mine where they added noodles and turned it into a bowl of noodle soup. If you know how, how would you do this? Thank you :).

    I just cooked this today! Thank you, Marion. This recipe is incredible. Usually I cooked this with somehting called spice-cube, but your version with the five-spice is soo much more delicious. This stew is one of my favourite food and you made it even better for me. I love your channel so much! You always inspire me to cook.

    And this version is gluten free. My wife is allergic to gluten, I can't make bo kho using the store bought pre seasoned broth. But Marion's version does not appear to have gluten. Thank you.

    Why not just put the beef back in the marinade bowl if you're going to use the remaining marinade? Not sure if the true bo kho is more a thick stew like this or more brothy and eaten with noodles/bread, but I'm certainly more familiar with the latter.

    Hi Marzy and all, i used beef Broth instead of the water for the health effects, turns out the flavor was awesome too, i liked adding veggies in there too really made them taste better than just the carrots. Thanks for the great ideas, what a great lady. I make my own fish sauce by fermenting sardines really worked well in this dish. Never knew the Frogs were responsible for this.
