Abstract
When a sheet of plastic wrap is wound around noodle strips, a folded portion of the sheet of plastic wrap is held between layers of the noodle strip and is double wound on an outer side of the noodle strip. The sheet of plastic wrap covers an entirety of the wound noodle strip. The sheet of plastic wrap on an outer peripheral side of the folded sheet of plastic wrap extends from and is wound around a next noodle strip. Next, another folded portion of the sheet of plastic wrap is held between layers of the next noodle strip and is double wound on an outer side thereof. The sheet of plastic wrap sequentially covers an entirety of the next noodle strip.
Claims18
A method for aging a noodle strip, comprising:
- winding a first noodle strip, which is elongated in a strip shape, around a first noodle rod in a roll shape;
- winding a sheet of plastic wrap around the first noodle strip such that an entirety of an outer peripheral of the first noodle strip is covered by the sheet of plastic wrap;
- winding a second noodle strip, which is elongated in a strip shape, around a second noodle rod in a roll shape;
- winding the sheet of plastic wrap around the second noodle strip such that an entirety of an outer peripheral of the second noodle strip is covered by the sheet of plastic wrap;
- and
- preserving and/or aging the first and second noodle strips, which are arranged at a specified interval, each of the noodle strips being sequentially covered by the sheet of plastic wrap, wherein:
- when each of the windings of the sheet of plastic wrap is performed, the sheet of plastic wrap is folded to be held between at least a portion of the last two layers of the corresponding noodle strip on the corresponding noodle rod, the folded held portion of the sheet of plastic wrap being long enough to be double wound in a winding direction of the noodle strip;
- and
- an outer peripheral side of the folded sheet of plastic wrap wound around the first noodle strip extends to the second noodle strip.
A method for aging a noodle strip, comprising:
- winding a first noodle strip, which is elongated in a strip shape, around a first noodle rod in a roll shape;
- winding a sheet of plastic wrap around the first noodle strip such that an entirety of an outer peripheral surface of the first noodle strip is covered by the sheet of plastic wrap;
- winding a second noodle strip, which is elongated in a strip shape, around a second noodle rod in a roll shape;
- and
- winding the sheet of plastic wrap around the second noodle strip such that an entirety of an outer peripheral surface of the second noodle strip is covered by the sheet of plastic wrap, wherein:
- the sheet of plastic wrap continuously extends from the first noodle rod to the second noodle rod.
