The invention provides a process for producing a coagulate food which
comprises the following steps: (a) preparing KONNYAKU paste containing
raw materials of KONNYAKU and water, in which a bean curd ground product,
or this product and other raw materials, not more than 10% by mass of the
product being 0.05 mm ON ("0.05 mm ON" means that the product cannot pass
through 0.05 mm mesh) and not less than 50% by mass of the product being
0.075 mm PASS ("0.075 mm PASS" means that the product can pass through

mixed with the KONNYAKU paste 1 to 3 minutes after the raw materials of
KONNYAKU is added to the water; (b) adding a coagulant to the KONNYAKU
paste; and (c) forming and heat-treating the KONNYAKU paste. According to
the production process of the invention, a coagulate food (TOFU
SHIRATAKI) can be produced by the existing manufacturing machine for
SHIRATAKI, which food has a uniformly soft and smooth texture compatible
with the physical characteristics of KONNYAKU and TOFU and a taste
similar thereto, does not crumble while boiling it and can be eaten even
if the product is a raw one. In addition, a stringy coagulate food is
