Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is a processed onion food, which is a novel stir-fried minced food that retains the flavor of natural onions, has a long shelf life, and is easy to use. Regarding onion food.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, stir-fried chopped onions have been produced by frying chopped onions in a pot using oil or fat.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This conventional onion food that is stir-fried using oil and fat has a problem in that it cannot be stored for a long time because it is oxidized by the oil.

Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 56 (1983) for cooking using oil
A continuous method for producing concentrated products of stir-fried vegetables is known, as described in Japanese Patent No. 68370. In addition to the drawback that the cooking method in this publication cannot be stored for a long time because it uses oil, it also heats at a relatively low temperature of 90° to 100°C, which means that the onions are not sufficiently cooked and raw ingredients are lost. remain as it is. Moreover, in the next step of concentrating, in which volatile substances are removed by forced evaporation of water under reduced pressure, the useful components of onions are volatilized and removed, making it impossible to produce a food with the unique onion flavor. There is a point.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention solves the problems of conventional onion foods and provides a novel stir-fried minced onion food that retains the natural onion flavor and has a long shelf life. That is.

The gist of the present invention is to chop onions into 3mm to 6mm cubes, spread the chopped onions on the top of the oven and heat them, and when the surface of the chopped onions becomes pink and then fox-colored, remove from the oven. Take it out, stir the chopped pieces, and change the position of the baking sheet several times to maintain uniform heating and no sticking to the baking sheet, and keep it at a low temperature of about 100° to 110°C. It is a stir-fried minced onion food produced by thoroughly drying it in an oven.

The minced onion food produced according to the present invention is in the form of small fox-colored lumps, but it may be cut into a powder (onion powder) by passing it through a speed cutter. When storing, place the stir-fried minced onion food of the present invention in an airtight container and store in a cool place or freeze as is. If stored properly, it can be stored for 3 to 4 years.

When using the stir-fried minced onion food of the present invention for cooking, add twice as much water to reconstitute it before use. By mixing this stir-fried minced onion food into dishes, it is possible to impart the natural onion taste to soups and dishes, thereby enhancing the flavor and taste of the dishes.

(Example) Hereinafter, it will be explained in detail using examples.

Cut the peeled onion into 5mm cubes.
Make 4.5Kg of chopped meat. Next, spread it flat on 5 baking sheets in an oven with a fan, turn on the oven, and bake at about 120℃ for about 30 minutes. The surface of the onion will turn pink.

At this stage, take it out of the oven, stir the chopped onion and smooth it out, switch the 5 baking sheets up and down, and back and forth, turn on the oven again, and lower the temperature inside the oven to around 100℃.
Bake for about 30 minutes. After that, remove the 5 baking sheets from the oven, stir the chopped onions and smooth them out, change the position and direction of the baking sheets, set them in the oven, and bake them again at 100℃ for about 30 minutes to dry them.
Repeat this 4 to 5 times.

It is easy to stir the first and second times, but 3 and 4
As the onions become more sweet, they tend to stick to the baking sheet and it takes a lot of effort to loosen them. When it is sufficiently dry, it will no longer stick to the baking sheet and will become smooth, then remove it from the oven. The minced onion food taken out is uniformly colored and has a fox-red color, and the flavor is preserved. If you peel one bale of 20 kg of onions, the net weight will be around 17 kg. Approximately 1.5 to 1.6 kg of stir-fried minced onion food can be produced from this. When using it for cooking,
Add about twice the amount of water to the dry stir-fried minced onion food to reconstitute it and mix it into the food. Dry fried minced onion food is about 1/2 of raw onion.
Since it corresponds to the amount of 10, calculate and use that ratio. For example, 100 g of raw onions corresponds to 10 g of the stir-fried minced onion food of the present invention. Stir-fried onion powder can be used in gratin, potage, etc. as it is dried.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the stir-fried minced onion food of the present invention can sufficiently bring out the taste of natural onions, and can be stored for a long period of time. Moreover, since it is in the form of small lumps or powder, it is easy to use and has the advantage that the amount can be easily adjusted.
