How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Goat Meat
- Good goat meat is fresh goat meat, soft young goat, with a slaughter to cooking time of about 12 hours.
- Fresh goat meat has a pinkish-red color, firm texture, and does not leak water. Frozen goat meat is pale, often leaks water and has a fishy smell.
- Young goats usually have less strong goat smell, while older goats have a stronger odor. Young goats have pinkish-red meat, with fine and small fibers. Older goats have darker meat and larger fibers.
- Look for reputable stores that supply goat meat, with clear origins, complete inspection stamps, veterinary certificates, food safety certificates, and establishments or stores that meet the requirements for trading fresh meat.
How to prepare Lemongrass Steamed Goat

Prepare the goat meat
Buy goat meat, wash it thoroughly, then leave it whole to drain. Use white wine (or vinegar) for preliminary processing to prevent the goat from having a fishy smell. Continue to cut a few slits in the goat meat with a knife.
How to prepare goat meat without fishy smell:
- Using white wine: Wash the goat meat thoroughly. Peel the ginger, wash it, then mince it finely, mix it with white wine. Soak the goat meat in the white wine mixture for about 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
- Using vinegar: Mix 15 ml of rice vinegar with 1 liter of clean water, boil on the stove. Boil the goat meat in this mixture until the water boils again, then take it out. At this point, the goat meat will have significantly reduced the fishy smell.

Prepare other ingredients
Minced garlic. Crush the lemongrass and cut it into pieces about 1 – 2 finger joints long.
Cut the shallots in half or into thirds.

Marinate goat
Put garlic, shallots, and lemongrass that have been prepared into the pot with the goat meat. Take the ingredients and stuff them into the slits that were made earlier on the goat leg so that the goat meat becomes fragrant and the odor is eliminated. Save a little lemongrass to sprinkle on the surface of the goat meat.

Steam goat
Put the goat leg into the pot and evenly spread the remaining lemongrass over the surface of the meat, then cover the pot.
