Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention is a method of freezing food for long-term preservation, storing it in a refrigerator, etc., and thawing and warming it as necessary. It is a frozen food that can be eaten immediately by itself, and contains flour, one or more of your favorite ingredients such as vegetables, fish, whole eggs, etc.
This invention relates to a method for producing frozen okonomiyaki using spices, sauce, cornstarch, etc. as raw materials.

<Prior art> Frozen okonomiyaki that has existed in the past is made by simply mixing the above-mentioned raw materials, freezing the raw material, and vacuum packaging, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 49-62654. It was something I did.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, such conventional frozen okonomiyaki is not heated and baked, so in addition to thawing, it must be heated to about 200℃.
It requires a lot of effort and time to cook, and it has almost no effect as an instant food. Moreover, since it is raw,
Sterilization of various materials is technically difficult and not only unfavorable from a hygienic standpoint, but also has the disadvantage of poor long-term storage.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to propose a method for producing frozen okonomiyaki that does not take much time to cook, is hygienic, and has excellent freshness retention.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the method for producing frozen okonomiyaki according to the present invention is to add one or more of vegetables, fish meat, whole eggs, etc. to flour dissolved in water. Mix multiple ingredients of your choice, spices, sauces, cornstarch, etc. as needed, heat and bake at a predetermined temperature to a state suitable for eating, and then freeze.
The product is then vacuum packaged together with the packed oxygen absorber, sauce, seaweed, etc. in a packaging bag with excellent water resistance, moisture resistance, and cold resistance.

<Example> To describe in detail an example of the method of the present invention, flour is dissolved in water, and vegetables (cabbage, green onion, ginger, etc.), fish (squid, pork, beef, etc.),
For example, add one or more ingredients of your choice such as whole eggs, salt, spices, dark sauce, and if necessary, cornstarch, etc. to one part of flour.
Mix 1 part vegetable, 0.55 part whole egg, and 0.22 part fish meat to make a raw material with an actual volume of 250 g/piece. This is spread on a hot iron plate and fired at about 200℃, and then, while it is still in the temperature range of about 50℃ to 100℃, the temperature is lowered to around -25℃ using electric freezing means and frozen. Then, the bag is vacuum-packed with an oxygen absorber, special sauce, green seaweed, etc. in a bag made of a flexible thermoplastic resin, such as polyethylene, which has excellent water resistance, moisture resistance, and cold resistance.

Frozen okonomiyaki produced as above is −
It can be stored for about 3 months at 18℃ or below, and
Natural thawing occurs in the refrigerator at around ℃, but it can be stored for about two weeks after natural thawing.

The cooking method is to apply oil to a griddle, frying pan, or hot plate, place the frozen okonomiyaki on top, and warm it up for about 5 minutes. ○ Put it in a low oven toaster or microwave and heat it for 2 to 3 minutes to make it fluffy again. After that, it is eaten with a special sauce, green seaweed, and mayonnaise depending on your preference, or sprinkled with shaved bonito flakes.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above, in short, according to the present invention, (1) Since the heated and baked okonomiyaki is frozen, the cooking process for making it edible is easy. It only requires thawing and a very short period of heating afterwards.
It can be eaten immediately without much effort and is highly effective as an instant food.

(2) Moreover, since it is already baked before freezing, it is easier to sterilize than when it is raw, and the sterilization effect is long-lasting, making it hygienic for consumption.

(3) In addition, vacuum packaging with an oxygen scavenger absorbs acids generated by hydrolysis reactions that occur during natural thawing, and prevents fats and oils distributed in the material from being affected by moisture, heat rays, etc. As a result, oxidation is suppressed as much as possible, thereby preventing rancidity, promoting long-term preservation effects, and achieving excellent taste retention.

(4) In particular, with the okonomiyaki of the present invention, you can enjoy the delicious, homogeneous taste of professionally baked okonomiyaki at any time in the comfort of your home simply by heating it to a temperature suitable for eating. It has the remarkable effect of being able to
