Use baking soda instead of boiling water. Soaking water, also called alkaline water, is a food additive when making moon cakes, which can prevent the sour taste of moon cakes from affecting the taste. Sodium bicarbonate is made by absorbing carbon dioxide in the solution or crystal of soda ash. It can be heated in the oven at high temperature to make edible alkaline noodles. Sodium bicarbonate is as alkaline as distilled water and can replace distilled water.
 1、 Baking soda can be used instead of water
 Although water and baking soda are not the same substance, baking soda is as alkaline as water, so baking soda can replace water. Jianshui, also known as alkaline water, is a food additive for making moon cakes and a common traditional auxiliary material for making Cantonese style cakes. Eating baking soda is different from industrial soda. Sodium bicarbonate is made by absorbing carbon dioxide from soda solution or crystal.
 Soaking in water can neutralize the acid in the invert syrup to prevent the sour moon cake from affecting the taste; It can also be neutralized with acid to produce a certain amount of carbon dioxide gas, which can help the moon cake expand better and make the skin of the moon cake feel softer.
 Bake baking soda in the oven at high temperature for 30 minutes to become edible alkaline noodles. When making steamed bread, fried dough sticks and other foods, mix baking soda into noodles. When heated, baking soda will break down into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide gas can make food more fluffy, and baking soda can also soften mooncakes to a certain extent.
