PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide batter for a food material which is produced using cooked rice, easy to be coated on the food material, and prevented as much as possible from getting too hard to eat, when being coated on the food material, and deeply fried together with the food material, and to provide a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: The method 11 for producing batter for a food material includes: a rice-cooking step for cooking rice an aging step for aging the gelatinized cooked rice a grain-forming step for mixing cereal flour 2b with aged cooked rice 2a to make the cereal flour 2b adhere to the aged cooked rice 2a so as to form cereal flour-coated cooked rice grains 2 where the aged cooked rice 2a is not stuck to one another and a taking-out step for taking out the cereal flour-coated cooked rice grains 2 formed in the grain-forming step. The produced batter for food material 1 includes the cereal flour-coated cooked rice grains 2 obtained by mixing the cereal flour 2b with the cooked and aged rice 2a to make the cereal flour 2b oating the aged cooked rice 2a so as not to make the aged cooked rice 2a stick to each other. The cereal flour-coated cooked rice grains 2 are taken out.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】炊飯した米を用いた食材用衣であって、食材にまぶし易く、まぶして食材とともに食材用衣を油で揚げた場合に硬くなって食することができないことが可及的に防止された食材用衣とその製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】食材用衣の製造方法11は、米を炊飯する炊飯工程と、炊飯した米をβ化させるβ化工程と、β化した米2aに穀粉2bを混ぜてβ化した米2aに穀粉2bを付着させ、これによりβ化した米2aが互いに貼着しない穀粉付き飯粒2を形成する粒形成工程と、粒形成工程により形成された穀粉付き飯粒2を取り出す取り出し工程とを具えている。また製造される食材用衣1は、炊飯されβ化した米2aに穀粉2bが混ぜられて該β化した米2aに穀粉2bが付着され、これにより該β化した米2aが互いに貼着しないようにされた穀粉付き飯粒2を具え、該穀粉付き飯粒2は取り出されたものである。【選択図】図3
