The organic chemistry of sodium bicarbonate soda is called sodium bicarbonate, which is milky white powder solid. Baking soda is commonly known as eating powder. When we make some noodles at home, we add baking soda to ferment the noodles, so as to make the ingredients fluffy and taste good. Soda is alkaline, and it will dissolve when it meets water. It is no problem to eat baking soda at home, but it is best not to let it go too much. Too much soda will affect the taste of ingredients. If you accidentally put it too much, you can put some white rice vinegar and apple vinegar at home to mix it.

The amount of baking soda is determined according to the amount of flour and the fermentation time of the dough. If you want to steam steamed bread or steamed buns with flour, because the fermented dough will be sour, use baking soda to neutralize it. You can put it while kneading it until the dough is sour. Generally speaking, the longer the fermentation time, the greater the amount. If it is used to make leavening agents, cakes and the like, it is advisable to put the amount when kneading dough so that it does not taste alkaline. The amount will be a little smaller than the fermented dough. Basically, you can test the feeling by smelling and tasting raw noodles (don't eat them, just feel them with the tip of your tongue), and you will know how to put them when you have experience. When trying, it is best to fix a container by yourself, and the amount to be put is determined by the container. Of course, it is best to have a measuring spoon. ?
