Ingredients

  • 3 pounds goat head and feet (or other parts), cut into serving pieces
  • 2 cups vinegar
  • salt
  • water
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 thumb-size ginger, pounded
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 pound unripe tamarind
  • 5 finger chili peppers
  • 1 bunch green onions, stemmed and chopped
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine goat meat, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon salt. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Rinse meat and drain well.
  • In a pot over medium heat, bring to a boil enough water to cover the meat. Add goat meat and boil for about 7 to 10 minutes or until scum begins to rise.
  • In a colander, drain goat meat. Rinse the meat and the pot.
  • In the clean pot, combine goat meat and about 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top. When the broth has cleared, add onion, ginger, and fish sauce.
  • Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until tender. With a slotted spoon, remove ginger and discard.
  • Wash tamarind and place in a pot with about 2 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft and outer skins begin to burst. With a fork, mash tamarinds.
  • In a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, pour tamarind and liquid. Continue to mash with a fork, returning some of the liquid into the strainer once or twice, to fully extract the juice. Discard seeds and skins. Pour tamarind juice into the pot of meat.
  • Add chili peppers and continue to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
  • Add green onions and cook for about 1 minute. Serve hot.
