Rabbit Fat Loss Meal: Braised Rabbit (Illustrated Recipe)

Rabbit's Weight Loss Meal: Braised Rabbit (Illustrated Version)

Today I want to talk about braised rabbit, one of Zigong's top ten famous dishes. Although it's not as well-known as cold-served rabbit or hot pot rabbit, it's a very common dish in ordinary households. The rabbit meat is tender and flavorful, and the lettuce is crisp, making it very appetizing. It's a typical home-style dish full of warmth and comfort. However, rabbit is usually cooked with a lot of oil and high heat, with many seasonings. This method is not suitable for those on a weight-loss diet. But rabbit meat is so low in fat and high in protein, a recognized high-quality protein source. Not only that, it's also rich in minerals and vitamins, and even contains folic acid. It would be a shame not to eat such a good meat during a weight-loss period. Moreover, rabbits eat grains and grass, making them healthier than chicken breast from mass-produced chickens. Despite this, people on a weight-loss diet rarely eat it because the target audience for rabbit meat is limited to the Sichuan and Chongqing regions. In addition, many people don't know how to cook rabbit meat with less oil and seasonings to make it even lower in calories. Today I've modified this delicious braised rabbit recipe into a low-calorie version. The method only involves two extra steps: first, lightly fry the rabbit until cooked, then drain off any excess oil. Add the seasonings as usual, as the flavor must be guaranteed; just reduce the amount of food and seasonings. Is 200 grams of rabbit meat enough for one person? Is a dozen grams of oil enough for one person? Of course! Pair it with rice, and you're guaranteed to feel full. It's so delicious, it doesn't seem like a weight-loss meal at all, but it is undoubtedly a qualified weight-loss meal. Rabbit meat provides protein, lettuce provides dietary fiber, and there are also high-quality vegetable oils and lard. Paired with carbohydrates (rice), it's nutritionally complete and incredibly delicious. It's so delicious you'll forget you're eating a weight-loss meal. With rice, it's only around 400 calories. If you're overweight, you can definitely increase the amount of meat and rice and still happily lose weight.
