Brilio.net - Chili is a core spice for making a number of Indonesian dishes. Call it rendang, curry, balado spices, and various chili sauces. There are many types of chilies, but the most widely used are cayenne peppers, large chili peppers, and curly chili peppers.
Because it is often used, many people automatically choose to store chilies directly in large quantities. So, so that chilies don't go bad quickly, usually this kitchen ingredient must be stored in the freezer. Because chilies that have been frozen rot more slowly.
However, sometimes people don't like the condition of frozen chilies when they want to be processed. If you are one of them, it looks like you can try the trick for storing chilies from TikTok account user @nurabillah at home. After all, this trick for storing chilies without a freezer makes the cooking spices last for weeks.
The trick to making chilies last for weeks relies on 1 simple tool and ingredient.
The first step that must be prepared is a clean jar, equipped with a tight lid. Then line the tissue at the bottom of the jar. Yup, this tissue is the main tool to help chilies last longer. But, don't just use one sheet, but rather a lot so that it absorbs moisture more effectively in the chilies when stored.

After that, place the chilies in the jar. Make sure the chilies are not washed first, then remove the stems. The owner of the TikTok account @nurabillah explained that washed chilies are usually damp and tend to rot easily when stored.
"Check your sleep every 2 weeks, if it gets wet, replace it immediately," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @nurabillah on Thursday (4/4).
So, before closing the jar, you also need to add one kitchen ingredient, namely garlic, just 1 or 2 pieces. Garlic is known to inhibit the growth of bacteria in areas where chilies are stored. That's why chilies can last longer if stored with garlic.
