Steps

  • Peel and mince the garlic and ginger; wash the star anise, cinnamon bark, bay leaves, sand ginger, white cardamom, and fennel seeds for later use.
  • Cut the dried chilies into 2 cm segments and wash for later use.
  • Wash the scallions/green onions/white onions; cut the white onion into small pieces.
  • Chop the rabbit meat into 2 cm pieces, add salt, cooking wine, and MSG to season, and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Pour oil into the pot. When the oil is 4/10 hot, add the scallions/green onions/white onions and stir-fry over medium-low heat until fragrant. When they are lightly browned, remove them.
  • Increase to high heat to raise the oil temperature. When the oil is 8/10 hot, add the rabbit meat. During frying, reduce to medium-low heat. Fry until the rabbit meat is slightly browned, then remove it.
  • Raise the oil temperature, add the dried chilies, green Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon bark, bay leaves, sand ginger, white cardamom, and fennel seeds; turn to low heat and fry the chili segments until crisp.
  • Add the rabbit meat back in, add oyster sauce, and stir-fry for a few minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, add the garlic, ginger, and white sesame seeds, and stir-fry evenly.
  • Let it sit overnight to absorb more flavor.
