Instructions

1

Prepare rabbit meat

Soak the wild rabbit meat in water for 4 hours to remove blood foam and grassy odor, then wash clean, remove the fascia, and mince into a fine paste using two cleavers.

2

Prepare the filling

Put the rabbit meat paste into a porcelain basin, add cooking wine, egg white, refined salt, 5g of sesame oil, and starch, then stir evenly to form the filling.

3

Blanch the meatballs

Squeeze the mixed filling into 3cm-diameter meatballs, blanch them briefly in a pot of boiling water, then remove and cool in cold water.

Prepare the auxiliary ingredients

Cut the cucumber and ham into oval-shaped slices; wash the Chinese cabbage, cut into oval slices, blanch in boiling water briefly, then cool in cold water; pick the pine mushrooms clean, wash, and cut into thin slices; pick the coriander clean, wash, and cut into sections; soak the daylily buds until fully rehydrated, pick clean, wash, squeeze out excess water, and cut into sections; peel the green onion and ginger, wash, and cut both into shreds; pick the rehydrated white fungus clean, wash, and cut into slices.

Simmer the dish

After cleaning the casserole, add chicken broth, shredded green onion and ginger, all the prepared auxiliary ingredients, rehydrated dried shrimp, and sliced white fungus, then add cooking wine, refined salt, and MSG.
