I used the spicy paprika to make some Vietnamese Bo Kho.
Beef
2 to 2 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck or brisket cut into 1½-inch chunks
1/2 packet of Bo Kho Spices
For the Stew
3 tablespoons oil
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, sliced thinly
4 tablespoons tomato paste
8 cups of water
2 cups of pure coconut water/juice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon spicy paprika
8 large carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 1½ -inch chunks
1 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons soy sauce
wide rice noodles or egg noodles
Combine the beef with bo kho spice packet and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Bo Kho: Add the ingredients including the beef together in large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for 1 hour.
After an hour has passed, add the carrots, salt, and soy sauce. Simmer for another 40 minutes.
Cook your noodles per package instructions, transfer to bowls, and ladle the soup over the top.
