2. First, wash the meat, place it in a pot with water, and put it on the stove. Once it comes to a boil, skim off the foam. Optionally, add bay leaf, onion, or other vegetables, and simmer the broth over medium heat until the meat is tender. Then carefully remove the meat, let it cool slightly, remove the bones, and cut it into pieces. Place the meat in a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil and sauté for a couple of minutes.
