If it must be stored for a few days, try to wrap it with a napkin soaked in water and put it in a sealed bag, and then put it in the refrigerator to keep the fragrance to the greatest extent possible.

Basil leaves

Mint

 

Mint, I think you can think of many uses without introducing more, such as addingsalad, Chinese food can be madeMint Beef.Decorate drinksand many more.Everyone is familiar with the scent of mint, so you can make up your own mind.If you love mint flavor, strongly recommendRaise a pot by yourself, When used, only two slices, that tastes the best.

Rosemary

 

Rosemary is basically when making steakessentialYes, if you particularly prefer other plants, you can also change them.But generally speaking, rosemary is used, the unique fragrance,Just rightAdd flavor to the beef, but completelyNo obvious smellCome to grab the show, I like it very much.

Bay leaves

 

It’s also often used in domestic cooking, but it’s mostly air-dried in China, but it’s available in North America.Fresh, It's really a bit longLike tree leaves.The magic of bay leaves is that,The fresh taste is small.The dry taste is more intense.Usually put in variousstewHere, it can add a lot of color.

Spice
Spices are thoseDry, GenerallyStored for a long timeof.However, if the spices are stored for a long time, the taste will gradually deteriorate, so they must be updated regularly to ensure the best taste.

Black pepper

 

Actually this is very common, but what I want to emphasize is!Must be black pepper,Grain by grain, Put in the grinder,Ready to use.I think and black pepper are basically two things.The freshly ground black pepper really smells better than pepperToo much fragranceNow, especially when making steak, it can bring the taste of your steak to a higher level.If you have any friends who are still using pepper, please, give it a try!The kind of jar in the supermarket is aSmall grinder, And the bottle contains black peppercorns, which is very convenient.

Red sweet pepper powder paprika

 

 

It looks red, but it actually uses someSweet pepperAnd even someGreen peppermade.In the eyes of people like me, it is not worthy of being called chili powder.Spiciness ishardlyYes, there is a bit of "pungent" flavor.Can't eat spicyFragrantIs quite suitable.

Cayenne Paprika

 

 

Although Americans are not good at eating spicy food, there are many types of chili powder. Cayenne chili powder is consideredRelatively spicySome chili powder.The green chili often seen in Mexican cuisine, Jalapeno, is more spicy than it.
