Hi, really glad to find your site. I just want to know whether Kan Sui or Air Abu has any negatif side effect to our health. And also to the taste of the noodle itself. Thanks
Hi aldy,
The taste of kan sui is quite distinct. If you are eating mee from the Asian stalls you will notice it. At home, I only add a bit as I don't quite like the strong smell.
As for the side effect (if any) you are best to google it.
hai....sinner
I just want to know the function of lye water in making of yellow noodles
tks
Hi maza2o2o,
The addition of lye water makes the noodles more chewy in texture and yellow in colour.
The noodles also have a subtle but distinctive smell.
