PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hygienic process and apparatus for producing a paste food containing an increased amount of vegetables as ingredient inexpensively. SOLUTION: A mixture of ground meat paste and a vegetable ingredient is formed by a forming means 2 and the formed material 1 is placed and transferred on a mesh conveyor 13 and pinched between the mesh conveyor 13 and a conveyor-pressing means 10 driven with a wheel 12 in the direction of the arrow A. Excess meat paste is removed from the formed material 1 placed on the mesh conveyor 13 by pressing with the conveyor-pressing means 10. The press-formed material 1 is fried in an oil tank 17. A meat paste food containing a vegetable ingredient in an amount larger than the meat paste can be produced by removing excess meat paste by the press-forming of the material on the mesh conveyor and frying the pressed meat paste mixture in an oil.
