Use a knife to chop the goat in half.
How to remove the smell of goat
- To remove the smell of goat, you should soak the goat in tea water and then stir-fry until the water evaporates, then add strong tea. After 2 – 3 times of doing this, the goat’s smell will disappear and the meat will be more tender and delicious.
