The first time I had beef stew from a Vietnamese restaurant I basically didn't want BBQ over rice plates anymore.  Is this the same dish, with just a different cut of meat?

Same dish more or less. Some chefs will throw in potatoes or daikon. I do the purist thing and only use carrots. Different chefs will use slightly different amounts and kinds of (fresh) spices. Cooking and pre-stew preparation techniques also vary.

I dunno, these hippy foodie chicks never seem to get these things right.

Marv, that looks a lot better than that Gaijin's version.  Looks really close.  Maybe a few more hours to thicken up the broth but I wouldn't wait either.  ;P  Do you have any tendon in there?

Yeah, that does look good -- just like my mom's home cooking. No daikon or potatoes in hers either, but she serves it with hu tieu noodles 9 out of 10 times.

It's intentionally watered down. My wife tends to eat the broth/gravy and carrots, leaving everything else - leading to many WTF moments. No tendon in this one. I also have a bad tendency to under-salt things even when I know it, but this comes from my mom screaming that everything is too salty.


Gaijin's version looks a Japanese take on Dinty Moore Beef Stew.

What's so scandalous?
