Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a meat-like foodstuff that can provide a natural meat-like texture experienced when chewing and is also similar in appearance to natural meat. A meat-like foodstuff that can achieve the above objective can be obtained by molding a raw-material mixture to produce a molded product and then coagulating the product by heating. The raw-material mixture comprises: a first hydrated and split textured vegetable protein obtained by hydrating and splitting a first textured vegetable protein having been textured by extruder treatment so as to contain a vegetable protein and 0.17 to 0.76 parts by mass of starch with respect to 1 part by mass of the vegetable protein; a hydrated and split second textured vegetable protein obtained by hydrating and splitting a second textured vegetable protein having been textured by extruder treatment so as to contain a vegetable protein and 0.03 to 0.15 parts by mass of starch with respect to 1 part by mass of the vegetable protein; and a binder.
