Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a hygienic food excellent in preservation and delivery by putting a wafer on formed rice, wrapping the food with e.g. laver, and putting ingredients on the wafer followed by wrapping the entire food with a transpar ent film. CONSTITUTION:A wafer 2 is put on a boiled and formed rice 1 followed by wrapping the food with a food sheet 3 consisting of laver or pie dough, and the upper edge 3a of the sheet is projected. Then, ingredients 4 are put on the wafer and the entire food is wrapped with a transparent film 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing packaged rice food.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a bento containing a cooked rice and various ingredients separated in a wooden or plastic container has been favorably eaten mainly for lunch.

[0003]

However, such a conventional bento has the following problems to be solved. I. Although it is contained in a container, it is exposed to the outside air directly, so that the aging of rice, the decay of ingredients, etc. progress quickly, and it is impossible to maintain freshness for a long time. Therefore, it is difficult to mass-produce by automating the production process, and most of them are hunt-make, which inevitably increases the production cost.

B. In general, the amount and type of rice balls and ingredients in a container are generally determined, and the range of self-selection is extremely narrow. Therefore, it is almost impossible to control the amount or calories to be eaten according to the appetite and physical condition at that time, or to select only the ingredients to be eaten. Therefore, there is a problem that the leftover food of the bento is inevitably increased and waste cannot be avoided.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the above-mentioned prior art. The present invention decorates a molding material having a predetermined shape and size by interposing a wafer and decorating the material. By wrapping a food sheet such as seaweed around the periphery so that its upper end projects above the wafer and packaging the whole with a transparent packaging film, it is possible to maintain the taste and freshness for a long time, It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a packaged rice food product in which the amount and type of ingredients to be eaten can be easily selected.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for producing a packaged rice food according to the present invention comprises a rice forming step of gripping cooked rice into a predetermined shape and size, and a forming rice. Wafer mounting step of mounting the isolation wafer on the upper surface of the wafer, and the food sheet such as seaweed and pie dough on the outer peripheral surface of the molding rice and the wafer, the upper edge of which protrudes above the wafer. Food sheet to be wrapped
Wrapping process, wrapping the food sheet with the appropriate ingredients on the wafer after wrapping, and wrapping the molding rice, wafer and all of the ingredients in a transparent packaging film. And a packaging process.

[0007]

[Function] The ingredients on the molding rice are not only placed on the saucer-shaped wafer, but are surrounded by the food sheet such as seaweed wrapped around the outer periphery, so that the solid ingredients may spill or fall. , Or liquid ingredients do not flow down. In addition, since the whole is packaged with the packaging film, freshness and deliciousness can be maintained for a long time, and it can be eaten hygienically.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The method for producing a packaged rice food in the present invention comprises a rice forming step, a wafer loading step, a food sheet winding step, an ingredient filling step, and a packaging step. Details of each step will be described below. explain. (1) Rice Forming Step The cooked rice 1 is grasped and solidified into a predetermined shape, for example, a triangular, quadrangular or circular shape. Its size is
20 g to 50 g of rice 1 is formed by using an automatic gripping machine (not shown), that is, a mini type (molding type) molding rice 1.

(2) Wafer mounting step A separating wafer 2 is mounted on the upper surface of the molding rice 1 having the above-described shape and size. Since this wafer is formed in a saucer shape, it functions not only to separate the ingredients described later from the rice 1 but also to prevent the liquid ingredients from flowing out.

(3) Food sheet winding step The food sheet 3 is formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the molding rice 1 and the wafer 2.
Is wound so that the upper edge 3a thereof projects above the wafer 2. The food sheet 3 may be pie dough, noodle band dough, etc., but seaweed 3b is suitable. This seaweed 3b
Cuts one piece of seaweed approximately equal to the length of the side circumference of the forming rice 1 at the center and wraps the two pieces of seaweed 3b ', 3b' to make it easy to eat the forming rice 1 etc. It can be divided into two.

(4) Ingredient filling step: An appropriate ingredient 4 is placed on the wafer 2 after 3 rolls of the food sheet. The ingredient 4 may be solid, jelly-like, paste-like, liquid or a mixture thereof, for example, various sushi ingredients, meats, hamburgers, other Chinese-style rules, and curry.
Use rule etc. These ingredients 4 are surrounded by not only the saucer-shaped wafer 2 but also the upper edge 3a of the food sheet 3 wrapped around the outer periphery thereof, so that the solid ingredients can be prevented from falling off. Even if it is a liquid ingredient, the downward flow can be reduced.

(5) Packaging step The entire molding rice 1, wafer 2, and ingredient 4 with the seaweed 3b are packaged in a transparent moisture-proof plastic packaging film 5. The wrapping by the wrapping film 5 can be fold-wrapped in units of 1 can as shown in the figure, so that the appearance is improved and the commercial value can be increased.

[0013]

Since the present invention is manufactured through the above-mentioned steps, it has the following effects. a. Rice 1, wafer 2, food sheet 2 and ingredients 4
All of these are packaged in a transparent plastic film 5, and the aging of the rice 1, the decay of the ingredients 4, etc. can be suppressed for a long time, so that the freshness and taste can be maintained for a long time. Especially, like the conventional product, rice 1 and ingredients 4
Although the spoilage phenomenon of these foods is significantly promoted when they are in direct contact with each other, such defects are remarkably ameliorated by the presence of the wafer in the present invention. Therefore, the production process can be automated for mass production, and the production cost can be reduced.

B. If many small-sized foods of the present invention on which various ingredients 4 are placed are prepared, a spontaneous calorie-controlled
Consumers can select and eat as many foods as they like. That is, it becomes easier to control the amount and calories to be eaten according to the appetite and physical condition at each time, and waste such as leftover food can be saved, and it also greatly contributes to the aspect of health management. It is suitable as a new type lunch food to replace bento.

C. The ingredient 4 is not only separated from the molding rice 1 by being placed on the saucer-shaped wafer 2, but is also surrounded by the upper edge 3a of the food sheet 3 wrapped around the outer periphery, so that, for example, Even if it is a liquid ingredient 4
It is not attached to the packaging film 5, and as a result, the deliciousness and the commercial value are not reduced.

D. By packaging in 1-can units, it can be eaten hygienically and is excellent in storage and delivery, so it is possible to start free-choice rice shops.
Various business developments such as catering and home delivery are possible.
