Mitsuba

Posted on 07. Jan, 2010 by grace in Ingredients, Japanese

Mitsuba is a Japanese herb that resembles parsley and has a milder flavor similar to angelica and celery. Mitsuba leaves and stems are used to flavor foods and are also added to salads.  While cooking, pinch off and discard coarse part of its stem, leaving about two inches of tender stem attached to clusters of leaves. Rinse and pat dry. You can store mitusba in a sealed plastic bag and chill up to one week.
