"Mochi" that is convenient to have. Recently, many individually wrapped rice cakes are on sale, but some people may be worried about how to store the rice cakes because of the timing of opening the mirror. Introducing a storage method that is useful in such cases.
■ Refrigerated / frozen storage
The important thing is to "keep it out of the air as much as possible "! First, wrap the mochi one by one with plastic wrap.After wrapping it, put it in a freezer bag to remove the air inside and put it in the refrigerator or freezer. It can be stored for a long period of 1 to 2 weeks if it is refrigerated, and several months if it is frozen.
Frozen cut rice cakes can be thawed naturally by taking them out of the refrigerator and leaving them indoors for several hours. If you boil it and eat it, you can leave it frozen.
■ With 〇〇
In addition to the storage method of wrapping it in plastic wrap, there is also a method of putting something together to prevent mold. That is ... "Wasabi"!Put the rice cakes in a closed container so that they do not overlap, and then add about 10 g of tube-type wasabi. Put it in a bento cup so that the wasabi does not stick to the mochi. The ingredients contained in wasabi inhibit the growth of mold and suppress its growth.
At this time, the mochi can be stored at room temperature for about a week. To maintain the effect, it is important not to open and close it unnecessarily. If you don't like the scent of wasabi, we recommend wrapping it in a wrap.
