Oh wow! Looks so delicious 😋
Could I use a chuck roast, removing some of the fat? Also what amount and kind of spices would I need, in case I cannot get the spice packet. Looks sooo good!! Some crusty bread, the stew and me, a match made in heaven, lol! Blessings!!
Sure, you can use chuck. Also, use Chinese five-spice powder (plus a small amount of chili powder) to substitute the bo kho spice packet. Five-spice powder is easier to get from the grocery store.
@@TasteofAsianFood thank you so much.
Does anyone notice any difference in taste if you buy like more expensive AA angus cuts from western shops vs beef you find in a typical chinese supermarket?
where can I buy the packet of Bo Kho ?
It depends on where you live. I got my Bo Kho spice at the Vietnamese grocery (here in Malaysia) and the annatto powder online. Amazon has both.
Most of the times I order this dish the meat is over cooked. My preference is medium rare to medium and the meat looks a little over done to me.
Forgot to mention I prefer it with the blood sausage. I typically won’t order this without that.
