Oh yeah!
While thinking to herself, the old lady Wang Cuihua worked quickly, taking out potatoes and washing them while smiling broadly.
Yingbao shook her head and continued preparing the ingredients needed for the rabbit stew with potatoes...
There were scallions, ginger, and garlic, and luckily my second aunt, Zhou Xiayun, brought back quite a lot, so we didn't have to force the plants to grow any more.
This dish is actually very simple to make. Everyone who has tried it thinks it tastes amazing and is a true delicacy!
Yingbao remembered that this dish was a favorite of Jessie and Tao Tao in modern times, and it was one of the must-order dishes every time they ate.
Next, Wang Yitong took some fresh rabbit meat from a basin in the yard, washed it, and began to chop it into 2-centimeter cubes, placing them in a large bowl for later use.
Yingbao placed the cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, sugar, starch, etc., very close to the wok, within easy reach.
Next, Yingbao began to teach her mother, Wang Yitong, how to make rabbit meat stew with potatoes.
Step 1: Take the rabbit meat, which is placed in a large bowl in 2 cm cubes, and add appropriate amounts of cooking wine, light soy sauce, salt, pepper, and starch. After using all these seasonings, put on disposable gloves, mix them evenly, and marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step Two: Next, take the potatoes that Grandma Wang Cuihua peeled and cut them into small cubes, about two centimeters in size, similar to the rabbit meat. Then, soak them in water for a while. This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes, making them taste and look better.
Next, Wang Yitong cut the scallions into small sections, sliced the ginger, and minced the garlic.
After preparing all this, Yingbao helped her mother, Wang Yitong, add some water to the iron pot. Wang Yitong then poured the marinated rabbit meat pieces into the boiling water to blanch them and remove the fishy smell. After that, she used a large strainer to scoop them out and set them aside for later use.
Step 3: In a separate pot, add an appropriate amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, add ginger slices and minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Next, Wang Yitong deftly poured the rabbit meat pieces that had been set aside into the pot and began to stir-fry them inside and out with a spatula until they were evenly mixed. Then, she used her hand to pick up the cooking wine and poured it in, followed by light soy sauce and dark soy sauce in that order. Finally, she added sugar and continued to stir-fry until everything was evenly mixed. Then, she scooped enough water from the bucket and added it in. After it boiled, she turned down the heat on the stove and simmered it for another half hour.
…………
During this half hour, Wang Yitong, Wang Cuihua, Lin Wan, and Zhou Xiayun cleaned up the pile of skinned and bloodied rabbits in the yard, preparing to make dried rabbits, cured rabbits... and hang them on the roof beams. When there is no meat in winter, they can cut five or six slices into the dishes to add some oil and meat, so that their bodies can have some nutrition.
Step Four: After waiting for about half an hour, Yingbao realized that her mother and the others probably wouldn't finish preparing the rabbits anytime soon. So, she took the potatoes that had been set aside, lifted the lid, added the potato chunks to the pot, and continued to simmer for about fifteen to twenty minutes until the potatoes were fully cooked. Then, Yingbao added an appropriate amount of salt and sugar to taste, stir-fried them briefly, and finally added a suitable amount of cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
