How to cook ear - useful tips and tricks
• Vodka is often added to the ear. Many mistakenly believe that it gives the dish an unusual taste. But in fact, it only eliminates the smell of river mud. And if the ear is brewed from well-purified fish or not river fish, then vodka in it will be useless.
• To make the soup broth beautiful and acquire a golden color, you can boil the husk from the onion in it. But do not overdo it. If you add a lot or leave the husk for a long time, then the soup will turn brown.
• Do you want your ear to look the same as in nature? Just set fire to a few twigs, let them burn a little and throw in the pan. The flavor of the fire is provided!
• The most delicious ear is obtained in spring water. But if it is not, then you can take filtered or simply defended.
• Ear should not be mixed often. Boiled fish does not hold well and as a result of frequent touches in the pan porridge with bones is formed.
