Mountain goat - famous specialty of the ancient capital

Coming to the ancient capital, along with visiting and worshiping at famous scenic spots, tourist areas and attractions, tourists also pay special attention to dishes made from Ninh Binh mountain goat.

The goats here are raised naturally, eating grass and trees on the mountain, so the mountain goat meat eaten here is not too tough or too soft, but has a very special sweet taste unlike in other places. This is also a specialty dish that Ninh Binh has built into a local culinary brand.

To raise a goat from a young age to adulthood with good quality meat, it takes about 10 months to 1 year to reach a weight of about 25-30kg.

That's why mountain goat meat is always delicious, sweet, soft and has a very unique flavor that no goat raised in the plains or raised industrially can match.

From the stage of selecting breeds to raising goats, careful selection is also required. Grass goats with small ears must be selected, grazed naturally on rocky mountains, climbing to eat leaves, ripe fruits, medicinal plants and herbs on the mountain, so the meat quality is delicious. Mountain goat meat has very little fat, is firm and has a fragrant smell when eaten, the meat is soft, not too tough, has a sweet taste and a light, characteristic goat smell.

The process of preparing the dish is also very elaborate and meticulous, from choosing the meat to combining the spices for each dish so that when eating, you can still feel the taste of fresh, delicious and sweet goat meat without losing the characteristic flavor of goat meat.

Choosing goat breeds is very important. You must choose grass-fed goats with small ears and when raising them, they must be free-range on the mountains so that the meat quality will be delicious.

Ninh Binh has many rocky mountains, rich in vegetation and many precious herbs and medicinal plants growing on the mountains, so it is very suitable for the characteristics of goats, which are good at climbing to eat grass, flowers, and leaves of forest trees.

Goats are known for their climbing nature and their favorite food is all kinds of grass, leaves, and even fruits from the mountains, so their meat is firm, fragrant, and delicious.

Goats are raised by natural grazing and live in the mountains, so finding and catching them is a process that takes a lot of time and is very hard...
