Deep-Fried Rabbit in Ginger Sauce

In this recipe, the rabbit is deepfried to make it crisp, and then it is stir-fried with ginger. It sounds like extra work, but it takes only 10 minutes to prepare. All ingredients must be ready before cooking begins because hesitation while stir-frying can ruin the texture.

6 oz. rabbit meat
1 whole scallion
2 slices fresh ginger, chopped
Cooking oil
1/2 tsp. rice wine

SEASONING A
1 egg white
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. peanut oil

SEASONING B
6 tbsp. broth
(stock from rabbit bones)
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Cut rabbit into cubes. Place meat in a bowl and coat with Seasoning A. Mix seasoning B ingredients in a bowl. Place wok on high heat and add 1 inch of cooking oil. When oil is hot, begin deep-frying meat piece by piece. Move cooked pieces to upper portion of wok. When all meat is cooked, remove it from wok and set aside. Reheat wok. Stir-fry chopped scallion, ginger and garlic in leftover oil (about 2 tablespoons) for 10 seconds. Add rabbit meat and stir-fry until warm. Pour rice wine onto side of wok. Add seasoning B and stir-fry for 1 minute. Serve with rice.
