I recieved a lot of shijimi clams as a gift but I wondered, how was I suppose to store all this? So I looked it up. Shijimi clams help combat summer fatigue, revive strength, and regulates liver function. They are packed with vitamin and calcium, 4 times of calcium than manila clams, 3 times the calcium of milk, and vitamins value equivalent to eel! It even helps lowers cholesterol. I was astonished to find out how nutritious shijimi clams are.It is said that shijimi clams consumes it's own nutrients, so as not to loose the umami flavor, and to retain the plumpness of the fresh shijimi clams, they should be cooked as soon as possible or frozen immediately for later use.

Perhaps this is commonly done, but I thought I should share this with those of you who didn't know this tip, since my friend told me it was a great idea.Right after purchasing the butter, it will be soft, making it hard to cut, so chill it well in the refrigerator before cutting!!The large pats of butter are about 10 g, and the small pats are about 5 g; keeping that in mind when baking sweets, since it's okay to be approximate, you won't have to measure it out.

I thought it'll be cool to be able to use the delicious clams more easily. It turned out to be very convenient when I tried freezing the clams that I received in abundance one time. This time, I bought 2.5 kg of clams at 400 yen at an all-you-can-stuff sale. It turned out to be 5 medium-sized Ziploc bags worth of clams. I can enjoy these for a while with dishes such as wine-steamed clams and pasta.If you have the well cleansed, sand-removed clams stored in your freezer, you can use them for cooking right away. It may be better to put the dirt/salt-removed calms into the fridge a while after cleaning if your room temperature is high. Please submerge the clams in salt water as soon as you bring them home from the store (or as soon as you receive them as a gift). Make sure to implement the sand removing process at least for an hour even if you buy the ones that are labeled as "sand-removed". Recipe by Bunbun

The cheap small-sized strawberries appear on the market around when the harvest season for the larger strawberries come to an end.I buy them in bulk and cook them and freeze them to get ready for the summer dessert time.If you continue to microwave the strawberries with the lid on, it will boil over. So take the lid of when you microwave the second time.I recommend using the Dererara sugar since it does not dissolve easily and prevents the mixture from boiling over.Separating the juice and the fruits will prevent over cooking, so you can enjoy them both.

When I buy a bag of ginger, I always let some of it get moldy or go bad, which is a waste.

I've been freezing parsley like this for more than 10 years.The key is to dry the parsley very, very well.If there's any moisture left on it, you won't get fine and nicely colored parsley bits, it will form clumps in the bag.It's really convenient to store parsley this way, since you can avoid the step of chopping parsley with a knife before adding to your cooking.

Yesterday, I harvested almost 22 pounds of tomatoes from the garden. I left the greener ones for salad, and with the riper ones, which were the majority, I made sauce (which I'll use in the coming days) and tomato puree that I froze for the months ahead. Every year, I make several pounds of tomato preserves, which I use a lot. I prepare them in many ways: I make puree both frozen and in jars, peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, and much more. When I freeze tomato puree in bags, I fill them unevenly, so when I need to use it, I only defrost the amount I need.

I suffer from extreme cold sensitivity. Recently, I heard that dried ginger warms the body more deeply than fresh ginger, so I decided to try making it myself. The origin of this recipe: I have extreme cold sensitivity and need socks and a hot water bottle to sleep! I also noticed my metabolism slowing down. My uncle, who is knowledgeable about Chinese medicine, told me that dried ginger warms the internal organs better than fresh ginger, so I decided to make it. In Chinese medicine, dried ginger is known as 'Ganjiang'.
