When added to simmered or stir-fried foods, "chikuwa" adds just the right amount of flavor and response. Since it does not last so long, it is difficult to stock it, and it is a food that tends to be estranged depending on the household.

But in fact, chikuwa is a food that is suitable for freezing. The flavor and texture do not easily deteriorate even when frozen, and no special preparation is required, so it is easy to practice. I will show you how to do that.

procedure

1. 1. Cut the chikuwa into the desired shape, such as slices or strips. You can leave the whole one as it is.


2. Put it in a storage bag, deflate it, and then seal it. For long-term storage, it is ideal to wrap one or one dose in plastic wrap before putting it in the storage bag.


3. 3. Store in the freezer. Estimated storage period is 2 to 3 weeks.


Four. When eating, thaw naturally in the refrigerator. When used for simmered or stir-fried foods, it can be used frozen.



The thawed chikuwa has almost the same taste and texture as before freezing. However, the peculiar elasticity of chikuwa may be slightly reduced, so it is recommended to use it for cooking rather than eating it as it is. Freezing after the freshness has dropped is NG, so please make the frozen chikuwa "there are still days until the expiration date" and "just opened".
