Today I will tell you how to properly marinate pieces of White Cupid in jars at home. Already in the title I indicated that there will be no vinegar in this dish. I try to rarely use vinegar when marinating fish, meat and vegetables. The only exception is adding vinegar to Korean carrots, I tried to replace the vinegar in this case with lemon, yet with vinegar the carrots are tastier. By the way I have a very interesting story with the preparation of Korean carrots, I will tell in a separate post. In this case, when marinating fish pieces, I add lemon juice and soy sauce instead of vinegar. The fish must be fresh. In my case, the freshest white amur 10 kg in weight. Sliced after cutting the fish into pieces, not very small. 1-3 cm. Then you need to salt the fish well, so it would be to your taste. Salt a little more than you salt for frying fish. In an enamel bowl, covered with a lid, leave the pieces of amur to salt for 1 hour. Meanwhile, for 2 kg of fish peel 5-6 medium onions and cut them into half rings. In this fish I suggest adding spices to taste. You can add dried basil, thyme, rosemary. Pepper black pepper. There are those who like to add turmeric and yellow flower. But it is important to make it so that you will enjoy eating your dish. I try not to add a lot of spices or add them to accentuate the flavor of the product, rather than muting it. After salting the fish pieces, I liberally pour the juice of one large lemon and add three, four tablespoons of soy vinegar. Spices and three tablespoons of vegetable oil. Odorless vegetable oil. Then, in chilled, boiled water per liter add 1 teaspoon of salt. You get a lightly salted solution. Fill one-liter jars with pieces of fish mixed with spices and onions and pour this solution of salt. In my case, there were 4 jars. Two jars for the family two jars to treat friends. Jars leave at room temperature for 4 hours then the refrigerator. It is better to marinate at least 24 hours. See what kind of fish turns out. One moment, it is not necessary to store it in the fridge for a long time. No more than 4 days, but it usually disappears somewhere sooner. If you want a longer shelf life, I recently shared this recipe for fathead in oil. Have a great day colleagues.
