Kitchen tips

Clever removal of fishy smell from soft-shelled turtle

Soft-shelled turtle is delicious and nutritious, but it is not easy to remove the fishy smell of nail fish. If only ginger, onion and wine are used, the deodorization effect is often not ideal. There is a simpler and more effective way: when killing turtles, pick out the gallbladder from the internal organs of the turtles and take out the bile.

The turtle treated in this way has no fishy smell when it is cooked again.
