Vietnamese Beef Stew image

This is a very substantial beef stew from an asian recipe. The ingredients in this beef broth have a depth of flavor that satisfys even someone with a strictly western palate. I used cellophane noodles added to the finished product but would suggest if using this type to use sparingly. You can also use linguine. I discovered this recipe in Jennifer Brennan's cookbook "The Cuisines of Asia".

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I added too much chili pepper.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I added too much chili pepper. Other than that, it was a great recipe and the beef was very tender.
