PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of dried gruel-like food products for persons with difficulty in chewing and swallowing, the products maintaining required thickness after addition of hot water, being rapidly formed into an excellent restoration state without separation of rice grains and thin rice gruel.SOLUTION: The manufacturing method of dried gruel-like food products for persons with difficulty in chewing and swallowing includes the steps of: (i) cooking 100 pts.mass of rice immersed in 140 pts.mass or more and 150 pts.mass or less of water; (ii) adding 3.5 pts.mass or more and less than 6.5 pts.mass of starch heated at 90°C or higher to 100 pts.mass of cooked rice; (iii) agitating the mixture at 50°C or higher and 60°C or lower so as to be formed into gruel; (iv) freezing the gruel at -20°C for 2 hours or more; and (v) vacuum-freeze drying the frozen gruel. The gruel-like food products after restoration with use of hot water has a thickness of 15 to 60 mm measured by the line spread test. |
