Hi tt,
I was wondering if you use the powdered alum, or if you crush up your own? I bought some from the asian store where it looks like a giant piece of crystal, and it's labeled white alum, and I'm assuming you have to crush it yourself?
thanks

Spice Trend alum works just as good. I found it for $1.25 at the grocery store, right next to the McCormicks that was $3.89.

Is it possible to use only all purpose flour? I could not find any wheat starch at all. There is wheat flour but I do not think they are the same.

Hello TT,

Can I substitute wheat flour for wheat starch to make "dau chao quay"?
