The Texas Bò Viên Gân (Beef Meatball with Tendon) is delicious and has a great firm, bouncy texture. The beef meatballs have a rich, savory flavor, while the pieces of tendon add a nice chewy texture that makes every bite more satisfying. They are very easy to prepare—just boil until heated through. I especially enjoy them in pho and hot pot, but they also work well with noodle soups or stir-fry. Made with 100% beef and produced in Texas, these are a convenient and tasty choice for Vietnamese-style meals. I would definitely buy them again.
