SOLUTION: (1) This method for producing excellent quality cooked rice is characterized by adding 0.0005-0.05 wt.% glycine per raw rice on cooking the rice added with an acetic acidcontaining improving agent for cooking rice before cooking the rice, and cooking the rice so that the pH of the cooked rice becomes 5.0-6.2. (2) The acetic acid and glycine-containing improving agent for cooking rice contains 0.3-500 pts.wt. glycine per 100 pts.wt. acetic acid and exhibits pH at 1.6-5.0. (3) The method for producing excellent quality rice is characterized by adding the acetic acid and glycine-containing improving agent (2) for cooking rice before cooking the rice and cooking so that the pH of the cooked rice becomes 5.0-6.2. |
