Recipe for making Homemade Herring He
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Defrost fresh-frozen herring in advance at room temperature so that it thaws completely. Wash the fish, cut off the head, tail and fins. Cut the belly of the herring. Remove the roe or milt (they can be salted separately). Remove the entrails, rinse the fish. Carefully remove the skin from the herring. Separate the fillet from the spine, remove all large bones. Cut the herring fillet into 2 cm thick portions and place in a deep bowl.
2. Peel the onion, cut into half rings and add to the fish.
3. Wash the carrots, peel them and cut them into thin strips using a grater for preparing Korean vegetables. If you don’t have such a device, chop the carrots on a coarse grater or cut them into strips. Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the fish.
4. Mix the mixture thoroughly. Add salt and ground spices. The amount of red and black pepper can be changed according to your taste preferences. You can also add ground coriander, smoked paprika or nutmeg.
5. Combine the refined oil and tomato paste in a frying pan. Stirring, let the mixture simmer over low heat for 3 minutes. Then cool the tomato mixture to room temperature.
6. Pour the cooled tomato mixture into the bowl with fish and vegetables. Add 6% apple cider vinegar.
7. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Cover the bowl with the snack with a lid or cling film. Put the herring he in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
8. After the specified time, the fish will be marinated and ready to eat. Serve the herring he as a cold appetizer, garnished with fresh herbs.
Bon appetit!
