Precautions

Onion and garlic water is a must. Of course, it would be even better if you add ginger to it to make onion, ginger and garlic water. I don't have ginger at home, so I didn't put it in. Adding onion, ginger and garlic water into minced meat can not only remove the fishy smell, but also make the minced meat more tender.
