After waiting for about half an hour, when the rabbit heads were almost cooked, or rather, fully cooked, they were taken out and placed in a bowl to be used later.
Next, clean the iron wok thoroughly and dry it until there is no water left in the wok. Then, add an appropriate amount of cooking oil. After the oil is hot, add Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until they release their unique aroma. Then, add dried chili pepper pieces, star anise, bay leaves, etc., and stir-fry until fragrant.
After finishing these, add ginger slices and minced garlic, stir-fry evenly, then add the prepared light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, and sugar, stir-fry evenly to make a sauce.
This already represents a significant portion of the success.
Yingbao then put the cooked rabbit head into the pot, while her mother, Wang Yitong, scooped water from a bucket and added it to the pot until the water level was above the rabbit head.
Wang Cuihua added more firewood to the stove, making the fire roar and boil. Then she stopped adding firewood, and the fire gradually decreased, just like a modern low flame. She simmered the rabbit heads for thirty minutes, allowing them to fully absorb the flavor of the sauce and become colored.
…………
Half an hour later, Yingbao felt it was about time, so she lifted the lid of the pot, took out the rabbit head, and put it into the plate that her mother, Wang Yitong, had brought over.
I reduced the remaining sauce in the pot and poured it over the rabbit heads on the plate. Finally, I sprinkled chopped green onions, cilantro, etc., on top as a garnish.
Haha~~ Mission accomplished! The spicy rabbit head is perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy.
"Mommy, Yingbao, what's this delicious food? Can you make it often? My little brother wants some." Ye Mingchen took a bite and was immediately captivated and won over by the spicy rabbit head his little sister had made.
Wang Cuihua tapped Ye Mingchen on the head with the back of her chopsticks and scolded, "All you ever do is eat! You're useless at everything, you can't do anything right. But when it comes to food, you suddenly become clever? Don't you ever think about how tired or hard your sister Yingbao works?"
Ye Mingchen fell silent.
Seeing Ye Mingchen's pitiful appearance, Ye Yaozu thought to himself that he was still his own grandson, so he pleaded with his wife, Wang Cuihua:
“Old woman, stop scolding her. Yingbao just wants to make spicy rabbit heads to sell, so we can try them and give her some advice…” At this point, Ye Yaozu specially came to the rescue of his grandson, saying, “Mingchen, don’t blame your grandma for scolding you. Your sister Yingbao, at such a young age, already knows how to research food to make money. Look at you! Grandpa thinks it’s not a big deal if you want to eat delicious food, but you can learn to make it. Once you can make it yourself, you can eat as much as you want.”
There's a saying that goes: "Self-reliance leads to abundance."
Just as Ye Yaozu had predicted, after he finished speaking, his wife Wang Cuihua didn't say anything more. Instead, she carefully picked up half of the rabbit head, examining and savoring it...
The Ye family doesn't have the idea that "a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen."
If women can do it, why can't men? You have to understand that a woman moves from her familiar hometown to a strange place, bears children for them, and only sees her biological parents a few times in her life, not to mention the ten months of pregnancy and the life-threatening experiences she goes through during childbirth...
A thoughtful person knows how to be grateful and how to cherish their wife. The men in the Ye family are like that. None of them think that women should do everything and that they should just come home and wait on their wives like old men.
