Red Wine Pho

• 份量: RECIPE (serves 4

配料

Phở Bò Sốt Vang is a Northern Vietnamese dish that has a heavy dose of French influence (red wine!!) thanks to their colonial past. It’s not super commonly found, which is another reason to try making it for yourself! ALSO this recipe only uses one pot for everything, so +10

This year I’m trying to shorten the time between me thinking of something and doing it. So if I want to try a recipe, I’m going to commit to doing it ASAP - and hopefully I’ll end up with beautiful food like this

500g beef brisket or other stewing beef, cut into cubes

6 tablespoons tomato paste

2 onions, peeled and halved

2-3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

1 head of garlic, top cut off but unpeeled

2 star anise

1 stick cinnamon

2 bay leaves

1 stalk lemongrass, bruised

300ml (10oz) red wine + a little extra to finish

Water

4-6 tablespoons fish sauce, to taste

To serve:

Rice noodles

Spring onions, sliced (you can also do some raw sliced white onion)

Plenty of herbs, e.g. Thai basil, dill, coriander

Bird’s eye chillies

Lime wedges
