Prepare the ingredients
To eliminate the smell of goat meat, briefly blanch the meat in boiling water containing 2 crushed lemon grass stalks and 1-2 pieces of sugar cane. Then remove it, wash thoroughly with cold water. Wait for the meat to drain, and slice thinly.
Wash the pepper leaves, remove the stems, and chop finely. Peel the shallots and garlic, wash, and mince.
Remove the stems from the chili peppers, wash them clean, and slice thinly. Cut off the yellowed leaves and roots of the green onions, wash them clean, and chop them small.
Tip:
- To eliminate the smell of goat meat, besides the above method, you can wash the goat meat with a mixture of white wine and crushed ginger for about 5 minutes. After that, wash thoroughly with cold water and let it drain.
- Additionally, during the cooking process, you can add a few pieces of orange or calamondin peel; this method is also quite effective in eliminating the smell of goat meat.

How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh goat meat
- You should choose pieces of goat meat that are still fresh, taken from young goats and slaughtered within the last 12 hours.
- At the same time, you can also check the freshness by smell, as goat meat usually has a distinctive aroma; the longer the slaughtering time, the fainter this smell becomes, so prioritize choosing pieces with a strong goat meat scent.
- Choose pieces with thin skin, a lot of lean meat, and good elasticity when pressed.
How to choose fresh betel leaves
- Fresh betel leaves are those with a deep green color, a shiny surface, and no unusual black or yellow spots.
- You should buy leaves that still have the stems intact or whole branches to ensure the leaves are still fresh.
- At the same time, avoid buying leaves that have wilted or are bruised.
