I marinated the shiso leaves, which I grew from seeds, in the garlic flavoured soy sauce.
I wanted to use it for cooking and I mixed it with cream cheese to make a cheese filling. I filled a huge courgette my friend gave me with the cheese filling.

You can use regular-sized courgettes.
Use more than 2 kinds of herbs to give a good flavour.
I used parsley, asatsuki chives and tarragon this time.
