Indeed I was curious to try this version becoz I didn't find other recipe using bic soda. I had another version which uses vinegar & it was white.HomeKreationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322593828217507506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372739447422672037.post-77401918174781943382010-04-03T23:45:03.553+08:002010-04-03T23:45:03.553+08:00I think it's the bicarb that's making it y...I think it's the bicarb that's making it yellow.<br />Try not to use that next time.<br />I use Double Action Baking Powder everytime. That's the one for making paus, not soda bicarbs.<br /><br />Alkalis cause starches to turn to a yellow hue (just like our Chinese ketupat), which is why some people add a small glass of vinegar next to the paus when steaming so that a whiter pau can be achieved.WendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.com
