Wash boneless goat meat with vinegar and salt, then cut into smaller pieces.

Get two pots going: one for pre-cooking the goat meat and one for boiling the chow mein noodles.

Add cooking oil to the pot for the meat and heat it up.

In the second pot, add water, a cinnamon stick, and cloves for boiling the noodles.

Once the oil is hot, add fresh garlic and garam masala to infuse the oil.

Add the goat meat to the pot with the infused oil and stir.

Season the meat with salt, black pepper, and homemade kazri, ensuring it is well coated with the spices.

Add roughly chopped onions and fresh thyme sprigs to the pot, cover, and let it cook in its own juices.

If needed, add water to ensure the meat cooks fully and becomes tender.

While the meat is cooking, add chow mein noodles to the boiling water with a small amount of salt.

Cook the noodles according to package instructions, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.

Once the noodles are ready, strain them and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.

Spread the noodles out in a pan to loosen them, then add butter, soy sauce, and cashew for flavor.

Check on the goat meat; it should be ready. Add a little sauce to stop the cooking process.

Prepare the vegetables: cut scallions (white and green separately), green chilies, red hot peppers, fresh thyme, carrot, red onions, bora (long green beans), and poi leaves (malabar leaves).

In a wok, heat vegetable oil on high heat.

Add fresh garlic to the hot oil and stir quickly.

Add bora and let it cook for a minute, then add red onions, fresh thyme, green chilies, red hot chilies, and the cooked goat meat.

Add a pinch of sugar and a little water for moisture.

Add the cooked noodles and poi leaves, then toss everything together.

Serve garnished with scallions and shredded raw cabbage if desired.
