Between spring and summer, large bunches of parsley are often on special offer. They're cheap, but it's too much to use up. That's why I wanted to come up with a good way of storing them.I thought it would be handy to have it on hand after drying and breaking up into little flakes.The color of parsley won't fade away if you dry them with this method. With this method, it's been easier for me to always have a jar of parsley around.The time to dry the parsley in the microwave is about 8 minutes in total at 600 W. But please adjust the time depending on the volume of the parsley.The stem doesn't taste nice, so only use the leaves.If you dry the parsley too much, it may catch a fire. So repeat Step 2 and 3 carefully. Recipe by Pinokogohan

Since I only use a few at a time, I thought about how to store leftover shiso leaves.Since the leaves will be frozen, I thought shredded leaves may be easier to use, so this is how I usually store them.You can also wrap an individual leaf without shredding it with a piece of paper towel and freeze it!

Thanks for trying out my recipe.Store the dried rosemary along with some dessicant in a jar.You could use the rosemary for getting rid of the smell of meat, mix it in with potato or bread-based cooking, but you can also add it to herbal teas and oils.You can put any leftover rosemary in tea bags and use it for an herbal bath. (It supposedly promotes healthy blood circulation and beautiful skin.) Recipe by Harmony Forest

When I buy a bag of ginger, I always let some of it get moldy or go bad, which is a waste. So whenever I buy a whole bag, I like to cut it all up and freeze it.You can save some time and effort when you're cooking. It seems that some people chop it up finely and freeze it, but in our house we use julienned ginger the most.If you freeze julienned ginger, if you leave it out for a bit at room temperature, you can chop it up easily even if it's still a bit frozen.

My mother would peel each clove and freeze them, but this is how I save my garlic cloves.Keeping the skins on prevents them from accumulating frost and helps preserve their flavor.If you defrost them, they will become mushy. Recipe by Pecchin

Found this trick quite some time ago but never had the occasion to give it a try. Makes an interesting garnish. In the past, I've deep fried herbs as garnishes at work, but not worth the mess at home. This is a quicker and healthier way to get a similar effect without the cleanup.

I always use this method to preserve asparagus.This method makes the asparagus nice and firm, just as it is when prepared normally.The heating time here is just an estimate Please adjust it according to the thickness of your asparagus!If you don't pile the asparagus on top of each other or let the air out of the bag, you can freeze them without them sticking together.You can use this asparagus in a range of recipes if you finely chop it before freezing.

This wisdom was passed down to me from my beloved grandmother who was born in the Meiji Era.A great-grandmother to my precious daughter, she was an energetic woman who lived until 101.This turns out beautifully when grated!Let sit to defrost a bit before slicing.Since the core might still be frozen, use a sharp knife, but be careful not to hurt yourself!When using them whole, just plop them into the pan as is.
