Norimaki
''Norimaki'' (海苔巻) are various Japanese dishes wrapped with nori seaweed, most commonly a kind of sushi, ''makizushi'' (巻き寿司). Other than ''makizushi'', ''onigiri'' (おにぎり, rice balls), ''sashimi'', '' senbei'' (煎餅, rice crackers) and ''chikuwa'' (竹輪, bamboo ring) are also regarded as ''norimaki'' if they are wrapped with seaweed. Description ''Makizushi'' ''Makizushi'' (, "rolled sushi") was first described in the 1750 publication "Ryori SanKaigo" as makizushi (). In the 1787 publication "Shichigokobi", it was mentioned as being on the menus of sushi restaurants in Edo as sushi that does not stain the hands. In the early days of ''Makizushi'', there were many other types of sushi rolled in other than seaweed, such as those rolled in thinly roasted eggs, or those rolled in shallow seaweed, wakame seaweed, or bamboo bark and so on. In Tokyo, there exists ''kampyo-maki''（干瓢巻, dried gourd rolls） made in the Edo period. The combination of ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Onigiri 001

Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled ume (''umeboshi''), salted salmon, katsuobushi, kombu, tarako, mentaiko, takanazuke (pickled ''takana'', Japanese giant red mustard greens) or any other salty or sour ingredient as a natural preservative.

Frozen Food
Freezing food preserves it from the time it is prepared to the time it is eaten. Since early times, farmers, fishermen, and trappers have preserved grains and produce in unheated buildings during the winter season. Freezing food slows decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species. In the food commodity industry, there are two processes: mechanical and cryogenic (or flash freezing). The freezing kinetics is important to preserve the food quality and texture. Quicker freezing generates smaller ice crystals and maintains cellular structure. Cryogenic freezing is the quickest freezing technology available due to the ultra low liquid nitrogen temperature . Preserving food in domestic kitchens during modern times is achieved using household freezers. Accepted advice to householders was to freeze food on the day of purchase. An initiative by a supermarket group in 2012 (backed by the UK's Waste & Resources Action Programme) promot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chicken Nugget
A chicken nugget is a food product consisting of a small piece of deboned chicken meat that is breaded or battered, then deep-fried or baked. Invented in the 1950s, chicken nuggets have become a very popular fast food restaurant item, as well as widely sold frozen for home use. History The chicken nugget was invented in the 1950s by Robert C. Baker, a food science professor at Cornell University, and published as unpatented academic work. This bite-sized piece of chicken, coated in batter and then deep fried, was called the "Chicken Crispie" by Baker and his associates. Two problems the meat industry was facing at the time were being able to clump ground meat without a skin and producing a batter coating that could be both deep fried and frozen without becoming detached. Baker's innovations solved these problems and made it possible to form chicken nuggets in any shape by first coating the meat in vinegar, salt, grains, and milk powder to make it hold together and then ...

Traditionally, they are made from cured pork, but in Eastern and Southern Europe, sausages made from chicken or turkey are more common; these are also sold in places with a significant population of people who do not eat pork for religious reasons.
