Perilla (perilla) that adds a refreshing flavor to your dishes. It's a good deal to have a lot of it in it, but the bottleneck is that it's vulnerable to drying, so it quickly shrivels.


In fact, perilla is a vegetable that will last a long time if it is processed while it is fresh and fresh. This time, I will introduce the author's recommended method, which is easy and does not take up much space.


All you need is a zipper bag for food storage and kitchen paper. Wash the perilla leaves, drain them, bundle them into about 5 sheets, and arrange them on kitchen paper. At this time, cut the stem part a little and align it.


Fold the kitchen paper in half, sandwich the perilla leaves, and put it in the zipper bag.



Add a tablespoon of water to moisten the entire kitchen paper and discard excess water. After closing the seal to remove the air, go to the refrigerator.



Comparing the perilla that I bought at the same time, the one who put it in the bag without doing anything shrank in 4 days, but the one who did this treatment was rather fresher than when I bought it. This method keeps the freshness for a week. You don't have to change the kitchen paper every day, but it's better to change it when you use it or after a few days. If you replace it frequently, you can store it for almost 2 weeks (if the leaves are darkened, remove them without using them).


In addition, in households that are mainly used for julienne, it will last a long time even if it is cut and then lightly exposed to water to drain it and stored in a container such as a Tupperware that can be sealed. This is easy to use right away, isn't it?

You can also freeze it

Freezing is also recommended for large quantities or infrequently used households. If you wrap each few sheets in plastic wrap and put them in a storage bag, you can store them for up to 3 weeks (for details, refer to the article "For spices of rice and noodles! How to freeze green perilla (perilla)"). Enjoy the perilla, which is indispensable for summer rice, without wasting it!
