A: On this issue, when there is no cooking wine at home, white vinegar can't replace the cooking wine to deodorize it. Although white vinegar also has a certain deodorizing effect, it can be replaced by pepper, ginger, dry flour and lemon juice.

Pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other spices can be oxidized by aldehydes and ketones, which can not only reduce the fishy smell, but also enhance the flavor. They are generally used to deodorize beef and mutton.

Ginger and onion segments also have a good deodorizing effect, and can effectively remove the coldness of ingredients, which are often used to deodorize meat such as fish and chicken.

Is it rare to use dry flour to remove fishy smell? This method is mainly used to remove the fishy smell of marine fish. After we remove the scales from the marine fish, we rub them with dry flour and leave them for about an hour.

After such treatment, not only the fishy smell can be removed, but also the freshness of the fish can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Lemon juice is rich in acidic substances, which are mainly used to deodorize seafood, because the fishy substances in seafood are mostly alkaline, and the fishy smell will be greatly reduced after acid-base neutralization.

For some meat, we can also blanch it, preferably with cold water, because it can remove the fishy smell to the greatest extent and ensure the freshness of the meat.
