Preserving Aromatic Herbs 香菜的长期保存

This will be a short post so I will share in bilingual.

这将会是一个简短的帖所以我会将双语写在一起。

I am happy to share this herb preserving method that I recently learned and tested.

It is an effective way to preserve kaffir lime leaves, rosemary and curry leaves.

This means for those of us who do not keep these aromatic herb plants at home, we no longer have to endure dry, wilted herbs with little aroma left.

Instead, we will be able to preserve excessive herbs from our purchase for longer shelf life, to make them available in fresh looking green colour, beautiful aroma and ready 24/7.

除非家里有种香叶，不然的话，我们大部分人都苦于无法长时间保存香叶。

是不是也有人像我一样，一包香叶买回来只用了几片，剩下来的大部分都是因为褪色，枯萎，慢慢的连香味也没有了只好丢掉。

所以，今天分享一个我最近实验确认的，关于收藏香叶的小妙招, 可以有效的长时间保存迷迭香，发疯柑叶和咖喱叶。

First, I would like to show you the results of my test in preserving the aromatic herbs.

I ordered a few types of aromatic herbs online. I received my order about 2 weeks ago, on 5th May. On the very day, I cleaned and preserved them.

It has been about 2 weeks, so I decided to use some of these herbs in my cooking to see how well they are preserved, I would say the results are satisfactory.

首先，我想先邀请大家看看成果。

我从网上订购了好几种香菜，大约两个星期前，5月5日收到。当天，我就进行清洗和保存。

这几日我煮的菜肴当中，就有用到这几种香菜，颜色和香气都保存得令人满意，是目前我试过最有效的保存方法。

Following are the steps that I took to preserve these three types of aromatic herbs.

1. Heat up sufficient water to 70°C - 80°C.

2. Soak the aromatic herbs (kaffir lime leaves, rosemary and curry leaves) for 5sec - 8sec to seal the colour of herbs.

3. Immediately transfer the aromatic herbs into ice water bath to cool down the cooking process.

4. Drain and pat dry the aromatic herbs.

5. Arrange the aromatic herbs in a zip lock bags, line a slice of paper towels or two to absorb extra moisture.

6. Squeeze out air before you seal the zip lock bags.

7. Store in freezer to preserve the aromatic herbs up to 3 months.

以下的步骤就是我用来保存香菜的方法。

1. 烧一锅温水，理想水温是70°C - 80°C。

2. 将香菜浸没温水里约5至8秒锁色。

3. 将香菜捞起来，即刻放入预先准备的冰水里终止加热程序。

4. 将香菜沥干， 在用厨房纸/ 干净的布抹干。

5. 准备可重复使用的自封袋，将香菜放入。也放入一两张厨房纸吸收多余的水份。

6. 封口前，将自封袋里面的空气排除。

7. 立刻冷冻保存。可有效保存至少3个月。

I wish this herb preserving hack will be helpful to you too.
