How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose good goat meat
- Good goat meat will have a pinkish-red color, firm flesh, and will not be watery. Frozen goat meat will have a pale color, is often watery, and has a fishy smell.
- Good goat meat is fresh goat meat, tender young goat, with a slaughter-to-processing time of about 12 hours.
- You should not buy goat meat that has a strong odor or has dark meat color and large fibers. This goat is old, and the meat will be tough and not tasty.
- It is advisable to buy meat from reputable goat meat suppliers, with clear origins, complete inspection stamps, veterinary certificates, food safety certificates, and establishments or stores that meet the conditions for selling fresh meat.
How to choose good sweet potatoes
- You should buy sweet potatoes that are intact, not cracked or chipped. When picked up, they should feel heavy, firm, and not bruised.
- You should not buy overly large sweet potatoes as they may be fibrous, and the skin may be black and have many blemishes.
- You can easily buy sweet potatoes at traditional markets. When purchasing, you should choose sweet potatoes that are still covered in soil because they have just been harvested and will be very sweet and rich!
How to choose good taro
- Good taro will have a round shape like a chicken egg. The outer skin is rough, with many roots, and soil still clinging to the skin.
- When buying, you should closely observe the depressions on the body of the tuber. If the tuber has many depressions, it will be rich and tasty; conversely, if the body of the tuber has few depressions, it will not be good.
- If you choose to buy pre-processed or pre-cut taro, you should look at the flesh of the taro. If the flesh has many purple veins and a deep red color, it indicates that the tuber is good.
How to choose delicious eggplants
- When buying, you should choose eggplants that have a white area between the stem and the skin of the fruit connected together, as these are young, fresh, and delicious fruits.
- Additionally, delicious eggplants will have a shiny skin, uniform color, and feel heavy and firm when held.
- You should avoid buying fruits that have skin transitioning from pink-purple to light purple, as these are fake eggplants, or fruits with wrinkled, dull skin, and dry, withered stems.
How to buy fresh coconut milk
- You should choose coconut milk cans with clear information about the manufacturer and expiration date. It is best to buy cans with a production date close to the purchase date to preserve the richness and aroma of the coconut milk.
- Do not buy cans of coconut milk that are dented or expired.
- You can buy canned coconut milk at supermarkets or food stores nationwide.
- Additionally, you can make coconut milk at home with detailed instructions from TasteVN.
How to prepare Goat Curry
-
Preparing goat meat
To eliminate the smell of goat meat, soak and rub the meat in water with 1 tablespoon of white wine, 1 tablespoon of coarse salt, and 4 slices of ginger for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water and briefly blanch in boiling water with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for about 2 minutes before removing.

Prepare other ingredients
Peel the sweet potatoes and taro, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and soak them in diluted salt water for about 5 minutes to prevent them from browning, then rinse with clean water and drain.
Wash the eggplant, cut off the stem, and cut the eggplant into wedges about the length of a finger.
Peel the garlic, mince half of it, and crush the rest. Peel the shallots, wash them, mince half, and slice the rest.
Peel the onion, wash it, and cut it into thin slices. Wash the lemongrass, cut it into sections, and crush it. Peel the ginger, slice a part into 4 thin slices, and mince the rest.
Tip to peel taro without itching- Method 1: Dry your hands thoroughly before peeling the taro, then soak it in diluted salt water for 10 minutes before rinsing and draining.
- Method 2: Wear gloves while peeling the taro.
- Method 3: Wrap the taro in aluminum foil, seal it carefully, and place it on the stove to roast for 2 – 3 minutes to burn off the sap before preparing.
