filling a fixed amount of the mixture automatically in a heat-resisting
plastic container, sterilizing the mixture 4-10 times repeatedly for 4-8
seconds at a high temperature of 130-150.degree. C. and high pressure,
cooking the sterilized mixture in a measured amount of liquid for
cooking, sealing and packaging the resultant cooked rice mixture
