1-Vegetable prep
For herbs,
• Wash all herbs like parsley, rockets, and lettuce etc. under running water and let them sit in some water with vinegar to get rid of the pesticides.
• Then dry them very well and chop if you like. Place them into clean jars without any space. This way they will stay fresh at least for a week.
For vegetables, check our stir fry video:

• Put the ingredients in the jar in cooking order. The one that cooks easiest goes at the bottom and the one that cooks slowest goes at the top.
• All the vegetables must be dry. This is essential to be able to store them for a longer time.
• Don’t put any juicy ingredients in the middle of the jar, (like tomato) they might rotten the other vegetables much quicker.
• Don’t put any ingredient that are already going bad. This will shorten the storing time as well.
• Try to put the rainbow in your jars! Eating the rainbow is good for your health.
• Chop the ingredients in different shapes. Chunk, dice, chop, wedge, julienne… Different cuts will add an extra dimension to your dish!
• Use seasonal ingredients. This rule is not only for this technique but also a rule for great cooking!
For onion and garlic,
• Dice onions and slice garlic thinly, jar them without any space.
