毎日の食事作りで一番悩むことのひとつが、「冷蔵庫にある食材を無駄なく使い切ること」です。
One of the things that troubles me most when cooking every day is, How can I use up the ingredients in my fridge without wasting anything?
。
Even if you buy fresh ingredients and put them in the fridge, its common to find that the expiration date is approaching before you realize it, or that leftover vegetables and meat end up going to waste.
。
Therefore, here are some simple ways to organize your refrigerator and make effective use of your ingredients.
。
When putting ingredients in the refrigerator, please place frequently used items and those with a short shelf life at the front.
。
Things placed at the back are easy to forget, so try to keep them in a visible spot so you don’t miss the timing to use them up.
。
We recommend creating a simple ingredient management sheet to keep track of what you have in your refrigerator.
。
If you keep a note of the ingredients in your fridge, their expiration dates, and how much is left, it will be easy to know which ingredients you should use first.
。
Lets organize the refrigerator every week and use items that are close to their expiration date first.
。
Let’s freeze any leftover ingredients and make good use of the freezer.
。
For example, vegetables, leftover meat, or cooked dishes will last longer if you freeze them.
。
Write the date on the label of frozen foods to make it easier to manage their expiration dates.
。
By making use of recipes, you can use up leftover ingredients. Remembering recipes is also very helpful for making sure you don’t waste any leftover ingredients.
。
インターネットで「残り物レシピ」を検索するのもいいアイデアです。
このように、冷蔵庫の整理と食材管理を工夫することで、無駄なく食材を使い切り、経済的にも環境的にも大きなメリットを得ることができます。
毎日のちょっとした工夫で、食材を最後まで大切に使う習慣を身につけましょう！
