How to choose fresh and delicious goat meat
- For goat hot pot, you should choose the goat leg, which has both meat and bone, to make the dish more flavorful!
- Delicious goat meat is tender goat meat, still fresh, with a thin layer of skin, lean meat, and not thick.
- Bright, red color, even and firm meat fibers, when touched, the meat feels springy, especially it doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Freshly butchered goat meat usually has a characteristic smell, it smells a little unpleasant, but it doesn’t smell too fishy like spoiled meat.
- Do not buy pale, soft meat or meat with a foul odor, as this is spoiled or rancid meat.
How to choose delicious and non-starchy taro
- Choose tubers that are round and even, with a rough outer skin, many roots, and soil still clinging to the skin.
- It is best to buy tubers that feel light when held in the hand, as these are tubers with less water, high starch content, and will be more fragrant and delicious when cooked.
- Avoid buying taro with few pits, as these are tubers with bland flavor and are not tasty.
Where to buy star anise and jujube?
- You can easily find star anise and jujube at traditional medicine stores or buy them together with a package of herbal stew spices at dried food stores or supermarkets.
- The price of star anise updated in December 2021 ranged from 300,000 VND – 320,000 VND/ 1kg.
- The price of jujube updated in December 2021 ranged from 100,000 VND – 200,000 VND/ 1kg.
How to Cook Goat Hot Pot
1. Prepare the goat meat and bones
First, use a blowtorch or burn the goat skin over the stove. Then wash the goat meat, fat, and bones several times with diluted salt and white wine to remove the smell.
Then rinse again with cold water and drain.
How to clean and deodorize goat meat- Method 1: Use two ginger tubers, peel and crush them. Then knead thoroughly with 70ml of rice wine to form a ginger-wine mixture and rub it on the goat meat, then rinse with water.
- Method 2: Mix 15ml of rice vinegar with 1 liter of clean water, boil on the stove. When the water boils, add the goat meat and boil until the water boils again, then remove and rinse.
2. Prepare other ingredients
First, peel the taro, rinse and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Tips:- Taro can cause itching, when you buy it, keep the mud on the tuber, keep your hands dry and then peel it. Soak in diluted salt water for 10 minutes, then take it out, now you can process it.
- Simplest, you can wear gloves when preparing it!
Peel the shallots and onions. Wash the lemongrass and cut into pieces. Peel the ginger and slice it.
Remove yellow and wilted leaves from the pennywort, then wash and drain. Peel the corn and cut into 2-3 small slices.
