asian styled pickled herring

I made pickled herring with curry the other day. Check it here. But now i have been playing with some other spices, so i decided to make the pickled herring with some Asian spices. My recent favourite is the chinese 5 spice.

Get some fillets of herring. Cut off the fin and slice into 2 inch strips.

In a pot mix

• 3/4 cup of white wine vinegar
  
• 3/4 cup of water
• 2 kaffir lime leaves
• 1.5 Tbs of 5 spice powder
  
• 2 tbs of sugar...or a little more

turn to med-high to reach a boil. stir.

Let the mixture cool

Then begin to layer the fish. with

• a tbs of ginger sliced finely.
  
• a red onion sliced finely.

let it sit for a couple days and enjoy.

Cheers
