It's used in Chinese cooking, not so common for Vietnamese food. Not sure what recipe you found that would have that. But the goat idea sounds fantastic. I like goat curry a lot so those spices sound great.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-25568046501876579332014-01-12T14:49:46.169-08:002014-01-12T14:49:46.169-08:00We "discovered" pho about 6 months ago w...We "discovered" pho about 6 months ago when I saw it referenced in a book I was reading. I looked it up and decided to make it using beef bones and it came excellent. Most of the recipes I've seen before have you go thru all this rigmarole to make the soup which unfortunately scares off a lot of inexperienced cooks. Fortunately I don't fall into that category.

I don't think it adds much to the flavor actually since the other spices are stronger.
