Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a gyoza-like food product that has a beautiful appearance that appeals to the taste, and that can exude the rich flavor of the ingredients wrapped inside without impairing it.

"Prior art and its problems" Gyoza-like foods, represented by gyoza, are generally manufactured by wrapping various toppings such as meat, seafood, and vegetables in a flour sheet called a wrapper, which is then steamed, baked,
It is cooked and eaten using methods such as frying. The above-mentioned flour sheet is usually made by adding water to a raw material whose main component is wheat flour, kneading it, and then rolling and aging it repeatedly using multiple roller groups to gradually thin the dough. It is manufactured by punching into a predetermined shape.

By the way, when cooking such gyoza-like foods, it is difficult to judge from the outside the degree to which the ingredients wrapped inside are heated, and it has mainly been based on intuition based on experience. Therefore, depending on the temperature of the fire, for example, even if the outer flour sheet skin becomes too burnt or becomes soft and crumbly, the inner ingredients will not be fully cooked and will remain half-cooked. Occasionally something happened. Also,
Due to heating, the extract that oozed out from the ingredients tended to flow out of the skin, causing the rich aroma to be lost.

``Object of the Invention'' The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional gyoza as described above, and to solve the problems of the conventional gyoza, regardless of the level of skill of the person who cooks them, and to prevent the ingredients wrapped inside from being heated for a long time. To provide a gyoza-like food that can be cooked to a sufficient degree without impairing the rich flavor of the ingredients wrapped inside, while maintaining a beautiful appearance that appeals to the taste, even when necessary. It is in.

"Structure of the Invention" The gyoza-like food according to the present invention has fillings filled and sealed in a heat-shrinkable cylindrical edible film, heated in advance, and wrapped in a flour sheet. It is characterized by

In this way, in the present invention, the ingredients are filled with an edible film, heated in advance, and wrapped in a flour sheet, so the ingredients are fully cooked in advance and are ready to eat. All you need to do is heat the flour sheet for a short time, just enough to cook it properly.
For example, it is possible to prevent flour sheets from burning and maintain a beautiful appearance. In addition, since the extract exuded from the ingredients during heating is retained by the edible film, a rich flavor with sufficient extract retention can be achieved. Furthermore, by filling an edible film with ingredients, sealing the film, and heat-treating the film, it is possible to improve the shelf life of the film until it is used for cooking. Furthermore, since the edible film heat-shrinks during heat treatment and tightens the ingredients of the filling, there is no risk of the ingredients falling apart and falling out when eating, making it easier to eat.

As the heat-shrinkable edible film used in the dumpling-like food of the present invention, natural films such as intestinal membranes of animals such as pigs and sheep, and collagen films are preferable. The thickness of this edible film is not particularly limited, but it must have sufficient strength and shape retention when cooking the ingredients, and the edible film does not give a sense of discomfort when eating this gyoza-like food. In order to avoid this, it is usually preferable to set the thickness to about 20 to 100 μm.

In addition, the flour sheet used in the gyoza-like food of the present invention is no different from conventional gyoza, and has wheat flour as its main ingredient, and optionally contains buckwheat flour, rice flour, barley flour, rye flour, starch, etc. After adding water and kneading the raw materials to which auxiliary raw materials, vegetable oil, quality improvers, etc. have been added, the dough is rolled and aged repeatedly using multiple roller groups to gradually thin the dough, and the dough is shaped into a predetermined shape. Manufactured by punching. Incidentally, unevenness may be formed on the surface of the wheat flour dough by rolling it with a roller having unevenness. Such unevenness may be formed on at least one side of the flour sheet, and its shape is as follows:
Any shape may be used, such as a stripe shape or a mesh shape.

Furthermore, in the gyoza-like food of the present invention, the ingredients to be wrapped inside include, for example, livestock meat such as beef and pork, seafood such as shrimp, shellfish, and fish, cabbage, green cabbage, Chinese cabbage, onion, shiitake mushroom, bamboo shoot, Paste or finely chopped vegetables such as garlic and chives can be used, and various extracts, chemical seasonings, soy sauce, etc. can be added to this as necessary.

As a method for preheating the ingredients wrapped and sealed with a cylindrical edible film, for example, immersion in hot water, high frequency heating, etc. are preferably employed. In addition, when eating, heating methods for properly cooking the flour sheet and warming the ingredients include baking, for example.
Methods such as frying and steaming are preferably employed.

"Embodiment of the Invention" FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the dumpling-like food according to the present invention.

That is, this gyoza-like food 1 is made by filling a cylindrical edible film 3 with ingredients 2, sealing it, preheating it, and wrapping it in a flour sheet 4. This gyoza-like food 1 is manufactured, for example, as follows.

Ingredient 2 is made by adding small amounts of various extracts, soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. to a mixture of minced pork, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, and chopped garlic. It was wrapped in a dumpling shape with edible film 3 and sealed. This was heated by immersing it in hot water at 98°C for 10 minutes, then taken out, wrapped in a flour sheet 4 with a thickness of 1.5 mm, and further fried in a frying pan over medium heat until the flour sheet was lightly colored.
