How to Incorporate Tung Chun Lye Water in Your Cuisine:

Here are some ways to incorporate the Tung Chun Lye water in your cuisine:

• Lye water can give noodles a springy, chewy texture and a yellow hue. A little drop during the preparatory process will go a long way to help you achieve your desired texture and flavour.

• Subsequently, Lye water can transform fresh eggs into century eggs, a preserved delicacy with a dark green yolk and a brownish-white albumen. The lye water adds to the slow transformation of the yolk's contents over several weeks of preservation. The once-translucent egg whites turn a rich, amber colour, while the yolk turns a delectable, dark green, providing a visual extravaganza that symbolises the complicated ageing process.
  
• Lye water can be used to give pretzels a shiny brown crust and a chewy texture. Simply dip the shaped pretzel dough in a lye bath before baking.

• You can use your Lye water to make your vegetables tender. It is recommended you wear protective gloves and long sleeves when handling lye water. Also, use a heavy plastic container and a non-reactive spoon to mix the lye solution. Do not use glass or aluminium, as lye can damage them.

Enjoy experimenting with lye water and creating authentic and delicious dishes at home.
