13.01.2022 Popular question and NEW RECIPE! How do I marinate the beef for bún bò xào (Vietnamese beef noodle salad)? The combination of flavourful ingredients, such as lemongrass, beef, rice vermicelli noodles and fresh herbs, is what really defines a bowl of bún bò xào. I have always thought bún bò xào actually mimics a Hollywood movie with a star-studded line up. Imagine all the biggest Hollywood stars in one movie, where no one actor is the stand-out performance, but rather the comb...ination of them all together leaves you entertained, refreshed and longing for more. There is a lot to love about bún bò xào and I have no doubt it can be included in the regular dinner rotation, despite its reputation as ‘too difficult to recreate’ due to its complex flavour profile. It seems too good to be true that something so delicious could be so simple to make, but I assure you that’s the case. Beef marinade: 500g beef flank/rump steak, thinly sliced, or beef stir fry strips 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 2-3 lemongrass stalks (white part only), crushed then finely sliced, or 80g lemongrass paste 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 birds eye chillies, finely chopped (optional) teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon fish sauce teaspoon anchovy salt (Red boat anchovy salt) (optional) 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil For complete recipe head to my website. #NewRecipe #VietnameseHomeCooking #FavourForFlavour #EaseInVietnamese #BunBoXao
01.01.2022 CHOPPING VS SQUEEZING Lemongrass. What would you rather? Do yourself a favour for that lemongrass flavour, and give lemongrass paste a whirl. It'll reducing your prep time by 10 minutes. Most of the time I chop FRESH lemongrass for quick Vietnamese home-style dishes such as lemongrass beef noodle salad or braised lemongrass chicken..but on a school night when there's added time pressure, I resort to a tube of @gourmetgarden_aus lemongrass paste from @woolworths_au or @colessu...permarkets #NotSponsored When coarse, lemongrass can get caught on the back of the throat and leave an unpleasant experience, particularly for kids. Lemongrass is incredibly fibrous, so will require a razor-sharp knife and some patience to chop consistently. If this sounds daunting, lemongrass can also be bought from most leading supermarkets in a tube. These versions consist of chopped lemongrass emulsified with oil to create a paste-like consistency, ideal for quick Vietnamese meals on a school night such as Bún Bò Xào (Vietnamese Lemongrass Beef Noodle Salad). This tube of lemongrass will save time without sacrificing that ethereal lemongrass fragrance. Nevertheless, fresh lemongrass is always best where possible
