2. Five key steps to stew rabbit meat
1.Material selection processing:It is recommended to choose an adult rabbit weighing 2-3 pounds, as the meat is more resistant to stewing. After slaughtering, it needs to be soaked in clean water for 2 hours to remove blood. This is a key pre-treatment step emphasized by many food bloggers.
2.Knife skills:Chop the rabbit meat into 3-4 cm square pieces and cut along the muscle texture. A recent popular TikTok video shows that this treatment can make the meat fibers break down more easily.
3.Blanching tips:Put cold water in the pot, add 3 slices of ginger and 1 spoon of cooking wine, blanch for 2 minutes after the water boils. Actual testing by Xiaohongshu users shows that this method is better at removing fishy food and preserving tenderness than blanching in hot water.
4.Stewing points:
| tool | Water volume | time | heat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Casserole best | No more than 2cm below the food | 40-50 minutes | First big fire, then small fire |
| pressure cooker | flush with ingredients | 15 minutes | medium heat |
5.Golden ratio of ingredients:According to the scientific ratio compiled by Zhihu's highly praised answers: for every 500g of rabbit meat, add 1 star anise, 3g cinnamon, 2 bay leaves, 15ml light soy sauce, and 5ml dark soy sauce.
3. 3 Internet celebrity tricks to make rabbit meat even worse
1.Tea softening method:Weibo Food V recommends adding 1 small bag of black tea (need to be wrapped in gauze) when stewing. Tea polyphenols can effectively break down muscle fibers.
2.Fruit-sour meat tenderization method:According to the actual measurement of the UP owner at Station B, add 2-3 slices of fresh hawthorn or 1 spoon of vinegar. Acidic substances can accelerate the dissolution of collagen.
3.Physical beating method:A popular Douyin tip: before blanching, use the back of a knife to gently beat the thicker parts of the meat to destroy the muscle fiber structure.
4. Precautions
1. Avoid adding cold water midway. Sudden changes in temperature will cause the meat to shrink and become hard. If you need to add water, use hot water. This is the most important tip voted by users of the Kitchen App recently.
2. The salt should be added last. Adding salt too early will coagulate the protein and affect the softness. The strategy for collecting by thousands of people in Xiaohongshu particularly emphasizes this point.
3. When using a casserole to stew, do not open the lid immediately after turning off the heat. Use the residual heat to simmer for 10 minutes for better results. This is a technique certified by Zhihu professional chefs.
