What is Spiced Goat Stew with Cabbage?

Spiced Goat Stew with Cabbage is not a standard everyday dish in many Western kitchens, which is exactly why it is interesting. At its core, it is a hearty Javanese stew of tender goat, cabbage and sweet soy, warmly spiced and full of rich, homely flavour. The key is balance: savoury, aromatic, fresh and sometimes sweet or spicy. Serve it with rice, noodles, vegetables or a crisp cucumber side so the flavours can stand out clearly.
