Recipe collection vol.4 ( Fried chickens with minced green perilla )

 Some of green perilla (green shiso/紫蘇） have grown so I tried to use some leaves of them for a dish for today's dinner. Perilla's leaves may remind you of some recipes like sushi rolled in the leaves or condiment for salad dressings because of its good aroma.

 I also wanted to make the use of the aroma so I tried to mix minced perilla's leaves with seasoning for fried chicken.

Today's harvest2

Today's harvest list

1: 2baskets of potatoes
/2: 20 carrots
/3: 25 burdock roots
/4: 2bunch of shiso (Japanese green perilla)

It's very lucky to find that some grenn perilla have grown wild beside ridges of potatoes.
We use chopped perilla leaves for condiment,which can go well with Sushi, Tenpura and other Japannese dishes.
I believe you can add them to a salad and fish cuisines in your country,if they are available.
