I’ll introduce you how to store cabbage in the freezer. There are two ways so don’t miss it!
Kakitama-jiru is a Japanese-style soup made with a dashi (soup stock) base and finished by adding beaten eggs. The name “kakitama” (literally “scrambled egg”) refers to the cooking method, where the eggs are stirred in while being poured, creating soft, fluffy ribbons throughout the soup. In addition to tofu, we will also add onion and broccoli to add nutritions. This is also a perfect soup for babies around 9 to 12 months old so I’ll show you how to eat it in a way that both children and adults can enjoy by simply changing the seasonings.
Do you have leftover food scraps scattered all over your workbench while cooking? In such cases, I would like to recommend this Multi-Eco Stand. I love it so much that I use it every time I use it on my recipe video channel. If you don’t like to use plastic bags, I recommend covering them with bags made of newspaper or paper. Aside from being a trash can, it can also be used as a holder to dry glasses, cups, etc. It can be folded compactly for easy storage.

This time, I will show you how to freeze bananas if you can’t finish them.
Bananas can be stored for 3-4 days by hanging them on hooks, as they begin to damage from the surface they touch. It is recommended not to cut and eat the part near the base of the bunch, as pesticides tend to remain.
In Japan, we use this drop Lid called “Otoshibuta” when we cook simmered or stir-fried dishes. People sometimes use wooden ones or cooking sheets, but I like this product because it can be easily adjusted to fit the size of my pots and pans. Regardless of its appearance, it is also easy to wash. It’s thin and small and it’s also convenient for storage.
