Oil-Burst Rabbit Meat

Ingredients

Rabbit meat (cut into 1 cm cubes, coated with egg white, fine salt, starch, and sesame oil) 300 g
Refined peanut oil (75 g actually used) 500 g
Peanut kernels (soaked in warm water, peeled, and fried golden) 75 g
Starch (for coating and sauce) 30 g
Egg white (for coating) 50 g
MSG 1 g
Fine salt 3 g
Garlic slices 10 g
Vinegar 1 g
Sesame oil (part for coating, part for sauce) 10 g
Scallion slices 10 g
Minced ginger 5 g
Toasted sesame powder 5 g
Chicken broth (for sauce) 50 ml

Instructions

1

Coating the Rabbit

Cut the rabbit meat into 1 cm cubes, place in a porcelain bowl, add egg white, fine salt, starch, and 5 g sesame oil, mix until evenly coated.

2

Frying the Peanuts

Soak the peanuts in warm water until softened, peel them completely, drop into hot oil, fry until golden, remove, transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and toss to combine.

3

Preparing the Sauce

In a small porcelain bowl, combine fine salt, MSG, aromatic vinegar, starch, and 5 g sesame oil to make the seasoning slurry (note: the ingredient list says 1 g vinegar, while the step mentions aromatic vinegar — minor discrepancy).

4

Oil-Bursting to Finish

Heat the wok and add the refined peanut oil; when the oil reaches about 30% hot, scatter in the rabbit cubes, separate them, slip-cook through, then remove and drain. Leave 50 g of oil in the wok, add scallion slices, garlic slices, and minced ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant. Return the rabbit cubes and peanuts to the wok, pour in the prepared slurry, toss in the toasted sesame powder, and serve immediately.
