Japanese Recipes for Healthy Living

Usually grocery stores sell family sized ground beef.. I mean… it’s too big for me. I usually use about half a pound or 1/3 a pound. If you have a spouse and 3 kids, you can finish the whole package, but I think there are many people out there who live by themselves or with  one more person. So for those people, this method may be useful.

1. Put the meat in a ziploc bag and flatten it. In this way, you can defrost it easily.

2. If you’re not sure you can use it all at once, divide it with the back of the knife so that you can break it and use  just the amount you need next time.

3. Place it in a freezer and preserve it. (It will taste okay at for at least 2 weeks.)
