PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide noodles show well-balanced properties, for example, excellent body texture, elasticity, stickiness, crunchiness and, in particular, such viscoelasticity that cannot be achieved by the existing non-fired noodles.SOLUTION: Hot-air dried noodles obtained by gelatinizing noodles, which are obtained by preparing a dough under deaerated conditions and then treating in accordance with a conventional noodle-making method, placing in a mold form a noodle mass obtained by cutting the noodles, and then drying the noodle mass in a hot air stream. A powdery/granular solid fat or a powdery/granular emulsifier is further added to the starting materials of the noodles.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】食感のコシ、弾力、粘り、噛み応え等、特に今までのノンフライ麺では出し得なかった粘弾性を有するバランスのとれた麺を提供する。【解決手段】ドウを脱気下にて作成した後常法により製麺された麺線をα化後、当該麺線を裁断した麺塊を型枠に収納して、熱風により乾燥することで得られる熱風乾燥麺であって、更に粉末粒状油脂または粉末粒状乳化剤を麺原料に添加する。【選択図】図3
