Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Marinade
- 500g goat meat, cubed
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- Pinch of salt
Vegetables and Garnishes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1-2 fresh chilies, chopped (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped (for garnish)
Liquids and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme
Noodles
- 200g egg noodles or ramen noodles
Instructions
- Marinate the Goat Meat: In a large bowl, toss the goat meat with curry powder, all-purpose seasoning, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Brown the Meat: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marinated goat meat and brown it on all sides for about 5 to 7 minutes, developing a deep, savory flavor and sealing in juices.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, sliced bell pepper, and fresh chilies (if using) to the pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and release their aroma.
- Add Liquids and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and coconut milk, then stir in the thyme for an earthy note. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cover. Let it cook uncovered for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the goat meat is tender and the sauce thickens to a rich consistency.
- Cook the Noodles: While the goat meat simmers, prepare the egg or ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine Noodles and Curry: Once the goat meat is tender, add the cooked noodles directly into the pot with the curry sauce. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly, then let simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Serve: Dish the curry goat noodles into serving bowls and garnish with chopped scallions. Serve hot for a satisfying and flavorful meal.
Notes
- Marinating the goat meat longer (up to overnight) will deepen the flavor.
- Use fresh goat meat for the best taste; frozen can be used but may alter texture slightly.
- The optional fresh chilies add heat; adjust quantity to your spice preference.
- Beef broth can be substituted with goat broth or vegetable broth if preferred.
- Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- If sauce thickening is desired, cook uncovered towards the end to evaporate excess liquid.
- This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
