Goulash is like pho in the sense that you rarely achieve the same outcome and everyone seems to have a different recipe. We have seen goulash with a red sauce base, white sauce base, some that use corn and some that don't have any vegetables in it.

Here we incorporate the use of slightly crushed caraway seeds to give the perfect amount of orange peel and anise flavors. The most important part of this goulash is being able to notice when the potatoes are done. You should be able to stick a fork fairly easily into them yet if they fall apart they are overcooked. It is important to avoid them being overcooked as it will become grainy and mashed in the goulash.
