That’s right I have my own secret ingredients for cooking this Vietnamese Bun Bo Hue, whatever it call in English, but if I translate it, it would be Hot Spicy Soup Beef Noodle. It all depend on the soup, here in Pennsylvania where I live, it’s not convenient to go the Vietnamese food groceries, so use what I have on hand, aside from the general ingredients, I added a little bit of pineapple, pineapple juice would work as well but don’t put too much since it will make the soup bitter, put some lemon grass to make it smell good :), keep the beef in the pot until ready to eat take it out and slice it, the reason I keep the beef in the pot is to keep it moist 🙂 Yummy!
