About

The basis of this rich stew—a combination of French pot-au-feu and Vietnamese pho—is a classic beef stock seasoned with far-from-classic ingredients, among them ginger, lemongrass, cinnamon, and chile. At Vong, Jean-Georges finishes it with noodles, a grilled steak, and some blanched green vegetables; I have done it that way at home, but have also doubled the amount of noodles and omitted the steak
