Ingredients:
5 Tbsp Bo'Kho Powder
1 Kg Beef, diced finely
3 Carrots, diced finely
1 Radish, diced finely
2 Onions, chopped finely
4 Cloves Garlic, chopped finely
10 Pieces Star Anise
2 Stalks Lemon Grass, ground finely

Water
Flour, mixed with enough water

Cooking Instructions:
Marinade beef with bo kho powder, cooking oil and ground lemon
grass for half an hour.
While the beef is marinating, fry star anise until it turns black,
and remove it from the oil.
Add chopped onion and garlic into the oil followed by the marinated
beef.
Add Chinese cooking wine and dark soy sauce into the wok.
Stir until it's cooked.
Pour the contents into a deep sauce pan, add water, and bring to
the boil.
Fry chopped carrots and radishes and mix them together with the
beef, stirring frequently. Once it boils, add sugar, salt, tomato
paste, and thicken with flour.
At this stage, this beef stew can be poured on the cooked rice
noodles. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
To use the stew for pie's fillings, it needs to be thickened even
more, then, added into the ready made pie crusts. Bake until
done. With one recipe you can make two different dishes; Bo
Kho noodles (which can be found in Vietnamese restaurants) and Bo
Kho pie.
