CONSTITUTION:Polished adlay with embryo bud is washed with water, soaked to a water-content of 20-25%, and dried by heating at 70-120 deg.C for 30-60min to obtain adlay having a water-content of 12-15% and alpha-starch content of 10- 20%. The processed adlay is mixed with polished barley, refined corn, and seasonings such as sugar, salt, soy sauce, etc. at proper ratios. The mixture is charged into a puff machine, kneaded, heated, pressed and expanded to convert the starch in each raw material completely to alpha-starch and at the same time, to expand the mixture in an arbitrary form having porous texture, and the product is cooled and dried.
