Is there any way I can include the bone marrow in this recipe along with the oxtail? Please let me know! <br />I was thinking maybe parboiling bone marrow first, then putting into crockpot for 1 hour and then removing it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251006701569023729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-81647040763789920342015-01-07T13:17:06.741-08:002015-01-07T13:17:06.741-08:00Thanks for the recipe, just made it last night wit...Thanks for the recipe, just made it last night with a little more oxtail (2.2lb) it was very easy for my first time making pho. Also, let it slow cook on low for 12 hours. <br /><br />Just skimmed the fat off the refrigerated broth and it is even better than before!<br /><br />Fresh noodles next time! I have a feeling it would be even better. And I'll get pre-sliced beef, cutting it myself Anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249304118557055824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-27659491606079303752013-04-25T22:58:28.215-07:002013-04-25T22:58:28.215-07:00Pink Terrier,

That's why you should slice the eye of round as thinly as possible. If you want your beef to be completely cooked before assembling the bowl, feel free to add the beef slices into the Crock Pot. I think that tends to overcook the meat though. It's like eating a steak medium rare, ifWandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-31657141374924917102013-02-26T19:32:17.095-08:002013-02-26T19:32:17.095-08:00I was wondering the same thing... is the meat eate...I was wondering the same thing... is the meat eaten raw?

They're the spices I jabbed into the onion.<br /><br />Squirrel,<br />It depends on what brand of fish sauce you use since they do have different levels of saltiness. And our individual taste buds too, of course.

But I would say to slice it and put it in the pot to cook.
