Ingredients:

fresh frozen herring1 kg

medium size carrots 1 pc.

onion5 medium sized heads

tomato paste 2 tbsp. l.

vegetable oil refined125 ml

table vinegar 9%50 ml

red hot pepper 1 tsp.

ground black pepper 1 tsp.

salt coarse grind 1 tbsp. l.

Number of servings: 12 Cooking time: 60 minutes



    Step 1: Defrost the herring

    For this recipe, the fish must be defrosted first. To do this, I simply take it out of the refrigerator, take it out of the plastic bag and transfer the fish to a large, deep bowl. Then I wait until the herring is completely thawed at room temperature. Fill it with water, defrost in microwave oven or carrying out any other manipulations with fish is undesirable.

    Step 2: Cutting the fish

    When the herring is defrosted, we will start cutting it. No matter how much one would like to delay this long process, they still have to do it. So, let's stock up on a knife with a small sharp blade, a cutting board, parchment paper and paper towels and let's get started. I usually line my cutting board with parchment paper (you can use regular clean sheets) to make it easier to clean later. Then all fish waste can simply be thrown away along with the paper.

    Take the herring by the back and make a longitudinal cut along the belly. Try to make the cut exactly in the middle. There will be either caviar or milk inside. They can be eaten or simply thrown away. Everything else inside the herring is inedible, so carefully remove all the insides and carefully scrape the belly with a knife to remove the mucus.

    Now let’s cut off the fish’s head by placing the knife blade all the way under the fin. Next, cut off the tail. We thoroughly rinse the fish carcass under running water, outside and inside, to completely remove the black film and bitterness.

    Place the herring on a board covered with paper and make a cut along the back from head to tail. Cut out the fin by going around it with a knife on both sides. In the same way we cut out the second fin, which is located near the tail.

    Now carefully remove the skin from the fish. To do this, pick it up near the head of the herring and remove it completely, moving towards the tail. This is quite easy to do, the main thing is not to rush and not make sudden movements.

    Now it remains to separate the fillet from the ridge, starting from the head. First, separate one half of the fillet, then the other. Some of the bones will be removed along with the ridge. We will get the rest by hand. Finished fillet cut into oblong pieces 2 centimeters wide and place in a deep bowl or bowl.


    Step 3: Prepare the marinade

    Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan or small saucepan. For this recipe we will use unscented clarified butter. Add tomato paste and mix. The mixture will not become homogeneous, but we don’t need that. Place it over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for several minutes. Remove the marinade from the heat and cool until room temperature.


    Step 4: Three carrots and add to fish

    Let's wash and peel the carrots. We grate it on a special Korean carrot grater, as required by the recipe. If you don’t have such a grater, you can cut the carrots into thin strips or chop them on a regular coarse grater.


    Place the carrots in a bowl with herring.


    Step 5: Chop the onion and add to the rest of the ingredients

    Peel 5 onions. For this recipe I used medium sized onions. Cut it in half and cut it into half rings of medium thickness. Do not cut the onion into too thick slices, otherwise it will not marinate and will remain bitter.


    Place the chopped onion in a bowl with other ingredients.


    Step 6: Add vinegar, salt and spices

    Now pour 50 ml of vinegar into the resulting mixture, as indicated in the recipe. It's better not to use apple juice or vinegar. This will give the finished dish a characteristic taste. Regular table vinegar will be just right. Add salt and two types of peppers. If you are not a fan of too spicy food, you can reduce the amount of pepper.


    Mix all the ingredients until they are combined and saturated with spices.


    Step 7: Pour marinade over ingredients

    According to the recipe, pour the cooled marinade into a bowl with fish and vegetables.


    Mix everything carefully.


    Now put the fish into a tightly sealed container (preferably not made of plastic) and put it in the refrigerator. After 12-18 hours, the Korean herring will be completely marinated and ready.


    Step 8: Feed

    The finished dish can be served with a side dish, such as hot potatoes or rice. You can also use it as a snack by placing it on small pieces of fresh bread.


    In Korean


Heh salads, along with Korean carrots, are one of the most popular savory appetizers. You can buy one at any market or even in a supermarket - there will be something for the most demanding taste: fish, seafood, vegetables, chicken or meat. Is it true, classic version It is still considered to be made from fish. In this case, the fish is taken raw and (like the other components of the appetizer salad) is not subjected to any heat treatment. Just marinating. If you have never cooked khe yourself, I recommend starting with Korean herring khe. You can find different recipes with photos on the Internet, I suggest sticking with the simplest and most delicious. To prepare it, it will be enough to take fresh herring (you can even just fillet), the most budget-friendly vegetable set of carrots and onions, and a bag of a ready-made set of spices. All other components are always available in every kitchen. The salad turns out to be quite spicy, with barely noticeable sourness and an amazing, appetite-stimulating aroma!

Ingredients:

  • fresh herring – 2 pcs. (mine came out at 700 g),
  • carrots – 1 large (per 200 grams),
  • onions – 2 heads (about 180-200 g),
  • garlic – 6 large cloves,
  • salt – 3/4 tbsp. l.,
  • sugar – 2.5 tbsp. l.,
  • vinegar 70% – 1 incomplete tbsp. l.,
  • vegetable oil – 50 ml,
  • ground pepper (red or a mixture of peppers) – 1/3 tsp,
  • seasoning for Korean carrots– 1 tsp.

How to cook herring hye in Korean

Let's start with herring. Wash it with cool water and cut it into fillets in the usual way. I feel comfortable doing this. I cut off the head and the tip of the tail, take out the insides, and rinse the fish again. Then I make a cut along the ridge about half a centimeter deep.


Afterwards, I place the fish on a cutting board and gently press it until a slight crunch appears.


Then I turn the fish over with its belly facing up - and the ridge with bones is already partially separated from the carcass. All that remains is to help him a little with your hands. Slowly and carefully I free one half of the herring from the backbone and bones.


Then I free my other half.


I remove the remaining bones (there are usually two or four of them on each fillet) and remove the skin.


That's it, the fillet is ready. We cut it into larger or smaller pieces - as you like. I cut it about 1-1.5 cm thick. Place the chopped herring in a deep bowl.



Chop the onion into thin half rings.


Cut the carrots into thin long strips. The longer and thinner you get it, the better. It is very convenient to do this using a double-sided vegetable cutter.


Place the onion half rings and carrot sticks in a bowl with the herring pieces. Finely grate the garlic there (or pass the cloves through a press).


Add some salt to our heh and sprinkle with sugar.


Next, add seasoning for carrots and ground pepper (I use a mixture of coarsely ground peppers, a very aromatic thing). Eat ready-made mixtures seasonings for Korean carrots from different manufacturers; for herring heh, I prefer the option from Pripravycha. This mixture is noticeably spicier and there is less coriander there than, say, in Trapeza.


Season the heh with vinegar and vegetable oil, and carefully, so that the pieces of herring do not get wrinkled, mix the salad with your hands. If desired, at the same stage you can add soy sauce.


We press the heh with a light press and put it in the refrigerator to infuse. After 1.5-2 hours, the appetizer can already be served. But it will taste better if it sits in the refrigerator overnight. Then each ingredient will be evenly saturated with seasonings and each other’s juices. The taste will become brighter and more balanced.


Herring heh prepared in this way can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. But it is usually eaten much faster. Heh can be served as a salad (in addition to the main dish) or as an appetizer, say, with alcoholic drinks.


Note. The proportions of ingredients, as well as the amount of salt, vinegar and spices, can always be adjusted to suit your preferences.

Have you been ripe for something new for a long time? Do you have a little patience and free time for self-improvement? Then surprise your family unusual dishes from simple herring. Prepare it with “spark” in best traditions Korean cuisine.

Food prepared for the table in asian style, even adapted to a set of domestic substitute products, will always leave behind a characteristic intriguing aftertaste.
