um...
is chow peang is the same as chinese's driest yeast balls? i went to the asian market to look for the chow paeng yeast but they didn't have anything like that...the only thing that most asian markets carry are just the chinese's driest yeast balls? Also, do i have to have the ENO salt for this cake? I can't find it at the asian market too. Is this cake have the sour taste within? I like the sour taste within. And can i substitute rice flour to real rice. By the way, where's the fermented sweet rice wine stored? I went to the asian market but can't seem to find it anywhere. Thank You!
