Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to frozen foods and a method for producing frozen foods. Freeze the ingredients without seasoning or coating them, and use seasonings prepared separately from the raw ingredients to be supplied to the frozen items during cooking, and then to thaw the frozen items. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to enable the above-mentioned seasoning to permeate into the raw ingredients so that the original taste and flavor of the target food can be obtained.

[Conventional technology]

In general, electronic noodles, Chinese soba, miso soup, udon, Japanese soba, etc. that are processed so that they can be prepared instantly are well known.

For example, electrons are steamed in advance, filled with a predetermined number of electrons in a plastic tray, and sealed with a lamp or the like. If the steamed noodles are soaked with fat or salt, you can just fry them in a frying pan, or if the steamed noodles are not soaked with fat or salt, you can fry them in a frying pan when cooking. There are things that are cooked and baked. Furthermore, in the case of cooking boiled dumplings, put an electric kettle in a frying pan, then add liquid soup, cover with a lid, and cook over a gas fire.

In addition, Chinese soba noodles are so-called instant noodles, which are prepared by pouring boiling water over dried noodles and then adding powdered or liquid soup. Next, to make miso soup, dried tofu and dried vegetables are added to the powdered soup that is the base of the miso soup, and boiling water is poured into the mixture. Furthermore,
Raw udon and raw Japanese soba are prepared by boiling, draining, and sealing the noodles in advance, then soaking them in boiling water, pouring dashi stock over them, and adding ingredients and seasonings.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, if you try to freeze steamed electrons that contain fats and salts to preserve them, the freezing temperature will drop due to the oils and salts seeping into the electrons. It is difficult to freeze. However, depending on the salt and fat content, it may not freeze.

On the other hand, foods that do not contain salt or oil have good freezing efficiency, but oil and salt must be added each time they are cooked.

Furthermore, since the ingredients in instant Chinese noodles and miso soup are dried and processed, it is undeniable that they are inferior in taste and flavor to the real thing. Furthermore, even if instant udon or Japanese soba noodles are pre-boiled and packaged, they cannot compete with real raw udon noodles or Japanese soba noodles in terms of taste and flavor.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in order to achieve the above object and solve the conventional problems, the first aspect of the present invention is to provide frozen foods with water or ice shavings, etc., in a heat-resistant plastic container containing raw food ingredients. The seasonings necessary for the frozen food are placed in a location separate from the frozen food.

The second aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing frozen foods, in which raw ingredients for food are placed in a heat-resistant plastic container, and then water with low or no salt content or rough ice chips are placed. The frozen food is frozen, seasonings necessary for the frozen food are provided in a location separate from the frozen food, the container is placed in a microwave oven and heated for a predetermined period of time to thaw the frozen food,
As the soup thaws, the water that begins to melt and the seasonings mix and turn into a liquid soup, and as this liquid soup heats up, it soaks into the ingredients as it cooks.

The third aspect of the present invention is a frozen food in which seasonings required for raw ingredients of the frozen food are directly placed on the upper surface of the first frozen product of the present invention.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is that in a frozen food, seasonings required for the raw ingredients for the frozen food are not placed directly on the top surface of the first frozen body of the present invention, but are stored in a separate container, and during cooking. It is supplied to the upper surface of the frozen body.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is the frozen food according to claim (1), wherein raw electrons are used in the ingredients for the first frozen food of the present invention.

The sixth aspect of the present invention is a frozen food in which raw Chinese noodles are used as the ingredients for the first frozen food of the present invention.

The seventh aspect of the present invention is a frozen food in which raw tofu, raw vegetables, etc. for miso soup are used as ingredients for the first frozen food of the present invention.

The eighth aspect of the present invention is a frozen food in which raw udon noodles or raw Japanese soba noodles are used as the ingredient for the first frozen food of the present invention.

〔Example〕

Examples of the frozen food according to the present invention based on the above means will be described. The figure shows the amount of water squeezed out for food ingredients.
1 is a shallow tray-shaped heat-resistant plastic container, 2 is a lid made of the same material as the container, and 3 is the amount of squeezed raw material used as an ingredient for frozen foods, for example, 16 to 18 g per piece.
Set the size to about 2 to 4 servings. 4 is a frozen product obtained by freezing the water in a container L with the amount of freshly squeezed 3, and the water has a low salt content, that is, it is useful for flavoring, but it does not interfere with freezing, or it contains no salt. use 5 is a seasoning placed on the frozen body 4,
As the seasoning, there are oils and fats 51 including chili oil, powder or paste, and other seasoning materials.

In this case, if the seasoning contains a component that is difficult to freeze and has the effect of melting the frozen object 4, a thin edible paper such as wafer is placed between the seasoning 5 and the frozen object 4. Sometimes a piece of paper is used to prevent direct contact.

Alternatively, the seasoning 5 may be sealed in a separate bag, opened during cooking, and poured or placed on the top of the frozen object 4.

Next, when the food ingredient 3 is Chinese noodles, the container 1 can be a bowl type with a relatively deep bottom, and the raw Chinese noodles are placed in it. If desired, add menma, grilled pork, spinach, etc. Then, powder or paste Chinese soup is placed on the top of the frozen body 4 as a seasoning 5 (.

Furthermore, if the food ingredient 3 is the fruit of miso soup, the container 1 is made into a bowl shape, raw tofu, raw vegetables, seaweed, etc. are frozen in this, and seasonings are added to the top of the frozen body 4. Step 5: Place powdered miso or paste miso on top.

Furthermore, when the food ingredient 3 is raw udon noodles or Japanese soba noodles, the container 1 is shaped like a bowl, and the raw udon noodles or raw soba noodles are placed therein.

If necessary, raw Naruto, fried tofu, or raw vegetables are added to the frozen body 4 and powdered noodle soup base is placed on top of the frozen body 4 as a seasoning 5.

Even when the food ingredients 3 mentioned above are Chinese noodles, miso soup, udon, and Japanese soba, the seasonings 5 necessary for each ingredient are
If the seasonings 5 contain ingredients that are difficult to freeze, do not place them directly on the top of the frozen object 4. Instead, seal the seasonings 5 in individual bags, open the bag when cooking, remove the lid 2, and freeze. body 4
Sometimes it is poured or placed on top of the .

In the figure, 6 indicates a spout made in the lid 2, and 7 indicates a covering member such as adhesive tape that closes the spout 6. During cooking, the covering member can be peeled off without removing the lid 2, and the seasoning 5 can be poured from the spout 6. It is configured to inject into the inside.

[Effect or cooking method]

Next, among the above embodiments, the function or cooking method based on dumplings will be explained. First, put the fresh squeezed amount 3 into a heat-resistant plastic tray-type container 1, then add water with low or no salt content, cover with the lid 2, and freeze, and freeze the frozen amount in the frozen body 4. The seasonings 5 necessary for The moisture that began to melt and the oil and fat content of seasoning 5 51
and a powder or paste-like substance 52 are mixed to form a liquid soup, and as this liquid soup is heated, it permeates into the ingredients 3 and forms a water-filled portion.

Next, when it comes to cooking Chinese soba, miso soup, udon, and Japanese soba, the basics are the same as cooking by squeezing the amount of water, but especially with soba, udon, and raw vegetables, if they absorb too much water, their taste and flavor will deteriorate. If water is used to make the frozen object 4, it will take a long time to freeze. Therefore, when freezing these, the ice is shaved into coarse grains without using water, and the ice is sprinkled and layered before freezing, which shortens the freezing time and reduces water absorption.

In addition, when the seasoning 5 is enclosed in a separate bag, open the bag, remove the lid 2 and put it on the top of the frozen object 4, or
Or put it on.

In this case, a spout 6 is opened in the lid 2, and the spout is always covered with a covering member 7 such as adhesive tape, and the spout is always covered with a covering material 7 such as adhesive tape.
In some cases, the covering member 7 is removed 711 while the step 2 is left in place, and the seasoning 5 is injected into the interior through the spout 6.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the raw ingredients for food before cooking are frozen in the frozen form, so they have a longer shelf life in terms of taste and flavor than conventional dry processed instant foods, and are convenient. New and beneficial for sale in stores, superstores and other grocery stores.

In addition, during cooking, the moisture and seasonings that need to be added to food ingredients are prepared separately from the ingredients for frozen foods, so you can directly touch the raw ingredients of the frozen foods to change the taste. There is no need to worry about this, and if you supply this seasoning on top of the frozen object during cooking, all that is left to do is to thaw the frozen object during heating, and the seasoning will dissolve into the water and become a liquid soup, which will turn into the desired food. It naturally soaks into the raw ingredients used for cooking, allowing you to obtain the desired seasoning without touching it at all.

Furthermore, if the seasonings to be added to the frozen food ingredients are placed on the frozen object in advance and set, it is convenient because it saves the trouble of opening each package using scissors or the like during cooking.
