Baking soda, that is, sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, baking soda powder and sodium bicarbonate, is a white fine crystal, and its solubility in water is less than that of sodium carbonate. This is an industrial chemical, which may be toxic.

Alkaline water is a natural alkali, and its main components are sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. Proper alkali can make the powder absorb water when it is decomposed by heat, and achieve good viscoelasticity. Alkaline water also has the functions of anticorrosion and neutralization of acidity.

You can use baking soda instead of water. The ratio is 1 5.
