Gather @goat shoulder{600%g}, @sichuan peppercorn{1%tsp}, @dried red chili{4} and @fresh cilantro{0.5%bunch}.

Season the goat slices with @salt{} and grill or broil over the highest heat until well charred outside but still juicy within, 4–5 minutes per side. ~{5%minutes}

Rest briefly, then slice the meat into thin strips against the grain.

Dry-toast the dried chilies and sichuan peppercorns in a bare pan until fragrant and a shade darker, then crush coarsely.

Heat the @mustard oil{4%tbsp} until it smokes, then let it settle off the heat a moment to mellow.

Toss the warm sliced goat with the mustard oil, crushed spices, @garlic{5%clove}, @ginger{20%g}, @chili powder{1%tsp} and sliced @onion{1} while everything is still hot enough to bloom the aromatics.

Finish with @lemon{1} juice and cilantro; serve warm or at room temperature.
