Hi Peng, can i ask you how to store the egg white? Eg. I have 2 egg white stored in fridge already, then the following day, i have balance egg white from my baking, can i add into the egg white which already in the fridge? Or should i stored it in freezer?

Hi...i read from somewhere whereby they mentioned that egg whites can be freeze! initially i din know that so i just store in air-tight container & chilled :P if u intend to use them soon, store in the most chill section in the fridge for 1 week is fine :) just separate store them in small section like 2 whites in each container, then use the 'old' one first, first in first out basis. For freezing, freeze the whites in ice cube trays then transfer into ziplock bag until use. To prevent whites from contaminating, wash n clean the egg thoroughly to remove any deposits/feathers before cracking them :)

Could you substitute with bread flour?

Peng said...

no! bread flour is high gluten flour only meant for bread making, not advisable to subsitute into this recipe
