Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to tofu with edible plants added thereto and a method for producing the same.

[Conventional technology]

Tofu has been well known as a common food since ancient times, but
The shape and appearance of tofu was cubic, consisting only of white flat surfaces, and lacked fun, beauty, and seasonal flavor.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Therefore, in this invention, flowers and other plants that can be eaten together with tofu are attached to the surface of tofu to create tofu that is fun to look at, beautiful, and seasonal. This is what we are trying to provide.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in the present invention, the back surface of the edible plant is bonded and fixed to a part of the outer peripheral surface of the tofu, and the surface of the edible plant is exposed.

Furthermore, when the surface of soymilk poured into a tofu molding container begins to coagulate, soymilk is applied to the back side of the edible plant, and the back side of the edible plant is joined to the soymilk surface of the tofu molding container. The production method involved coagulating soymilk with the surface of the edible plant exposed from the soymilk.

[Effect]

The above-mentioned tofu has edible plants on its surface, making it fun, beautiful, and seasonal to eat.
Furthermore, since the edible plants are fixed to the tofu, they will not come off when sold or moved.

[Example] The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings shown as an example.

(1) is tofu, and its surface (2) is covered with edible plants (3
) is bonded and fixed on the back side.

Further, when the edible plant (3) is joined and fixed, the surface of the edible plant (3) is exposed.

The edible plants (3) to be bonded and fixed to this tofu (1) include various edible plants such as pansies, roses, dianthus, and chrysanthemums, and vegetables such as spinach, carrots, and pumpkins. Conceivable.

These edible plants (3) can be selected depending on the season and fixed to the tofu (1).

Furthermore, vegetable extract made into a liquid by squeezing vegetables, chopped vegetables (4), etc. can be mixed with this tofu (1) and molded.

Next, a method for producing this tofu (1) will be explained.

First, liquid bittern, which is a coagulant, is poured into the bottom of a barakan, which is a tofu molding container.

Next, soy milk is poured into the barrack. At this time, the temperature of the soy milk is about 80 degrees and it is left at room temperature.

One to two minutes after the surface of the soymilk begins to coagulate, spray cold water onto the surface of the soymilk using a sprayer. This is to promote coagulation of the soymilk surface and to prevent a film from forming on the surface.

In addition, after 5 to 6 minutes, only the surface of the soymilk is thinly coagulated, and the inside is soft and jelly-like, but not completely coagulated.

In this state, apply warm soy milk to the back side of the edible plant (3), pour it into a tofu molding container, and place it on the surface of the coagulated soy milk.

At this time, a part of the back side of the edible plant (3) will bite into the surface of the soy milk.

Then, a mist of cold water is again blown onto the surface of this soymilk to promote coagulation, and it also has the effect of softening the heat of the soymilk on the edible plants (3), and also performs the necessary treatment to prevent discoloration. be.

Wait for a while until the inside of the tofu (1) has completely solidified, then insert a knife and cut this tofu (1).

The time required to manufacture this tofu (1) was less than about 1 hour.

The above is the structure and manufacturing method of tofu (1) according to the present invention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

This invention has the above-described configuration and manufacturing method, and therefore, the surface of the tofu (1) is coated with tofu (1) and -
You can also attach edible flowers, other plants, vegetables, etc., so you can enjoy the fun of looking at it, the beauty of it, and the sense of the season.

Furthermore, since the edible plant (3) is fixed to the tofu (1), the tofu (1) with the edible plant (3) will not come off even when the beans (1) are sold or moved. ) could be provided.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

The figure is a perspective view showing the completed tofu of the present invention.

Claims (1)
