Abstract: Okara (bean curd refuse), which has been prepared by blending with a coagulant, is kneaded together with a jelly-type edible polysaccharide having a high thickening stability. Then, the kneaded mixture is coagulated by heating so that the Okara is bonded to the edible polysaccharide. As the above-mentioned edible polysaccharide, use is made of tokoroten (a marine alga), Konjac, Kudzu starch jelly or the like.
