- The color is bright, red, the meat fibers are even and firm, and when touched, the meat feels springy, especially it does not stick to the hand.
- Freshly butchered goat meat usually has a characteristic odor, it smells a little unpleasant, but it does not have a very fishy smell like spoiled meat.
- Do not buy pale, unfirm meat or meat that smells foul, as this is spoiled, rancid meat.
How to choose delicious and non-woody taro
- Choose tubers that are round and even, with a rough outer skin, many roots, and soil still clinging to the skin.
- Choose tubers that feel light when held in your hand because these are tubers with less water, high starch content, when cooked will be more fragrant and delicious.
- Avoid buying taro with few depressions because these are tubers with a bland taste and are not delicious.
Where to buy dried star anise and jujubes?
- You can easily find dried star anise and jujubes at traditional medicine stores or you can buy them together with a package of herbal stew spices at dry food stores or buy them at the market or supermarket.
- The price of dried star anise updated in December 2021 ranges from 300,000 VND – 320,000 VND/ 1kg.

1. Preparing the goat meat and bones
First, use a tool to singe or burn the goat skin over the stove. Then, rinse the meat, fat and bones several times with diluted salt water and white rice wine to reduce the smell.
Then rinse again with cold water and set aside to drain.
How to clean and deodorize goat meat- Method 1: Use two ginger tubers, peel and finely chop. Then knead thoroughly with 70ml of white rice wine to create a ginger-wine mixture, then rub it on the goat meat and rinse thoroughly with water.
- Method 2: Dissolve 15ml of rice vinegar in 1 liter of clean water and boil on the stove. When the water boils, add the goat meat and boil until the water boils again, then remove and rinse thoroughly.

- Simplest, you can wear gloves when processing.
Peel the shallots and onions. Wash the lemongrass and cut into sections. Peel and slice the ginger.
Remove yellow and wilted leaves of pennywort, then wash and drain. Peel and remove the corn silk, then cut into 2-3 small pieces.
