SNACK FOOD CHIP CONTAINING COOKED GRAIN AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a sheeted, baked, and fried snack chip formed by cooking grain in a heated cooking solution to form cooked grain; mixing the cooked grain with masa flour while the cooked grain is still moist to form a hybrid mix; hydrating the hybrid mix to form a dough; sheeting the dough to form a dough sheet; cutting chip- shaped dough pieces from the dough sheet, and then baking and frying the chip-shaped dough pieces to form the final snack chips, The grain may be pre-soaked prior to cooking. The grain may also be colored with a colorant to impart a color to the cooked grain that makes it visually distinct from a primary color of the dough. If a colorant is used, it may be accomplished in association with the pre-soaking step or in association with the cooking step. The grain may be rice.
