Abstract

A frozen fried food is prepared by coating a food material to be fried with a particle/powder mixture comprising porous particles and a hygroscopic powder at a ratio by weight of 1:10 to 10:1, optionally semi-frying the coated material, and then freezing the same. The fried food thus obtained has a crunchy coating and shows a crispy and fresh-fried texture not only when fried in oil but also when heated in a microwave oven or an ordinary oven and maintains said texture for a prolonged period of time.
