Best of: Top 10 Recipes of 2009

Ever since I compiled my "Best of: Top 10 Recipes" of 2006, 2007, and 2008 lists, it's fascinated me which recipes get the most hits. I figured my Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) would lead the pack since it's one of my most popular recipes, but I didn't expect my Crock Pot Pho Bo (Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup) to be #2 since that recipe wasn't blogged until the end of the year. Of course, if you look at the number of hits between #1 and #2, it's a huuuge discrepancy. Nonetheless, the popularity of Vietnamese beef stew meant that even though I didn't blog it until the end of the year, the Crock Pot Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) is also incredibly popular, coming in at #4. The only non-Vietnamese recipe to crack the Top 10 was Yaki Udon (Japanese Stir-Fried Udon Noodles).

So here you go, my

    I really loved the crock pot beef stew! I haven't made it in awhile, but when I did, I made it three times in a row! I liked it so much that I divided up the spice packets and lemon grass among my friends to give as gifts and printed out your recipe. All they had to buy was the ox tails! that's how excited i was to have them try it too! :)
