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?

Marvey:
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.

Anaxilus.:
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?

Questhate:
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.
