The only difference is that the dough needs to be mixed with alkali salt solution called "Kan Sui" by the Chinese and Japanese. This solution is for that purpose. Handle with care as it is dangerous alkali solution but very necessary for noodle making, I am glad it is available to buy on desertcart. ## Features - Do not drink directly - Use as tenderiser - ideal for baking mooncake, zongzi, prepare ramen and chewy noodles. - Potassium Carbonate Solution ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QDTYDXD | | Age Range Description | Adults only | | Best Sellers Rank | 48,222 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 84 in Marinades | | Brand Name | Tung Chun | | Caffeine Content Description | Caffeine Free | | Coin Variety 1 | Alkaline | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country of Origin | Hong Kong | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 76 Reviews | | Flavour | Unflavored. | | Item Form | Liquid in Bottle | | Item Package Weight | 1.03 Kilograms | | Item Volume | 500 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Tung Chun | | Net Content Volume | 500 Millilitres | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Bottle | | Size | 500 ml (Pack of 1) | | Special Ingredients | Lye, Potassium Carbonate Solution | | Sweetness Description | Not Sweet | | UPC | 726003023548 | | Unit Count | 500 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tung Chun - **Flavour:** Unflavored. - **Item volume:** 500 Millilitres - **Net content volume:** 500 Millilitres - **Number of items:** 1 - **Package information:** Bottle - **Package type:** Bottle - **Package weight:** 1.03 Kilograms - **Unit count:** 500 millilitre - **Variety:** Alkaline ## Images ![TUNG CHUN Lye Water 500ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PEmcMfkkL.jpg) ![TUNG CHUN Lye Water 500ml - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61V6wkGYVuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by J***Y on 4 September 2025* Arrived in time ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ KanSui for Noodles *by E***T on 6 June 2024* Chinese noodles are not the same as spaghetti.
