Korean-Style Herring
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. In our family, Korean-style herring is a traditional dish that practically no large feast can do without. And don't get me wrong—we love experimenting; it's just that Korean-style herring is truly VERY tasty :) Perhaps the most popular appetizer on the table. It's made from the simplest ingredients, it seems, but it disappears from the table faster than red caviar. Okay, I've already hyped the dish—now we can get on with cooking :) Good luck The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.

Step 1
First things first, let’s make the marinade. To do this, mix vegetable oil with tomato paste and bring to a boil. Then mix in the vinegar and stir well. Let cool.

Step 2
Now for the onion—the onion, by the way, in this dish turns out almost tastier than the fish, so I use a lot of onion :) Peel all the onion and cut it into large, fairly thick rings.

Step 3
Add our spices to the marinade. If you like, you can use other spices as well, but if you're making this for the first time, it's best to follow my advice and add what's specified in the recipe.

Now comes the most labor-intensive part — we work on the herring. Remove all the bones, trim off the gills, and so on — we only need the herring fillets. BUT! Do not remove the skin from the herring. If you do, after marinating the fish will become soft and lose its shape. So make herring fillets with the skin on and cut them into small pieces.

Step 5
Place the onion and herring in the marinade. Mix well, cover with a lid, and weigh down. Refrigerate.

Step 6
In just 2–3 hours, you can take the Korean-style herring out of the refrigerator and eat it, but I prefer to leave it overnight—it tastes even better that way. Eat it however you like. We eat it with black bread. , friends! :)
