This gorgeous dish shows the French influence on Vietnamese cooking. It could pass itself off as a daube or a bourguignon, with its slow-cooked beef in a tomato and stock-based sauce - until it's tasted, that is, when Asian flavours like ginger, five-spice and lemongrass come to the fore, giving the dish a vibrant difference. A bowl of this, some rice, some stir-fried choy sum on the side and everyone will be very happy.
