For the Braised Goat: Place the goat in a large mixing bowl. Toss with the salt and pepper to evenly coat.
Add the oil to a rondeau set over high heat. Add half the amount of goat to the pan and sear on all sides for 1 to 2 minutes to get a good crust on the outside.
Place goat in a deep hotel pan. Repeat cooking the remaining goat.
Add the remaining braised goat ingredients.
Cover with foil, place in a 300 degree F oven and braise for 2 ½ hours.
For the Scallion Pancakes: Place the flour in a mixing bowl along with the boiling water. Mix well until fully incorporated; let dough rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 1-oz portions, roll out to ¼-in thin rounds. Brush with sesame oil and place 1 tsp of scallions on dough; roll up and roll out again to make a scallion pancake.
Place some canola oil in a sauté pan, place scallion pancake on pan, and cook each side for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with salt.
For each serving: In a small bowl, toss the carrot, cucumbers, lime juice, and salt together.
Evenly distribute the vegetable mixture into 2 scallion pancakes. Top with warmed braised goat. Garnish with a drizzle of hoisin and top with the jalapeños and cilantro.
