I've tried other ones that are similar without yeast and they turn out OK, but always soft and limp and not crunchy like the ones they sell in Hong Kong. Do you have a recipe for "Ngau Lay So"...or "Ox Tongue Pastry" for a literal translation. I've been searching for that one for so long, but have not found one. Your blog is wonderful!atlas1059https://www.blogger.com/profile/07043388224794977827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-89168327824069574592010-12-07T20:34:35.088-05:002010-12-07T20:34:35.088-05:00Ruby, you can get Amonia powder from the Vietnames...Ruby, you can get Amonia powder from the Vietnamese grocery store.
