Tried making soft pretzels the other day. They turned out well but I'm going to try using lye instead of a baking soda dip the next time.



I crave golden chewy pretzel outsides.  ac_biggrin

Have you used lye before?  I never have.

Never. I've always been a bit leery of trying but after watching some instructional videos, I'm going to give it a try.

Good!  Do it :). I just watched a vice video with someone trying a traditional Norwegian fish dish that is cooked in lye.  They said it's very soft.

Did you lye?  what happened?  Did you end up pretzelled?  I'm wondering how it turned out (so I can try it).

[Frood]

Haven't tried it out yet. Maybe this weekend. I'll report back on it.

They look so delicious Azhya..

What kind of soup is that?

Hi, Fash. That is called a pork sinigang--a favorite among Pinoys. It has tamarind in it. Here's the recipe:
