I'm not sure about the 50 grm either. if it's 50 grm flour then you'll need to divide the water in 3, so it'll be 236/3= 79ml limestone water. remember to add 1 tbsp starch.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298120337495513348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389038925487522743.post-91924918304263987872013-09-08T22:08:20.921-04:002013-09-08T22:08:20.921-04:00Hi,

I added more tapioca flour but the thing still comes out a bit soggy. I have tried a few options, but without success.<br />I cook the mixture using stove, and the tapioca flour cooked and turn into sticky and transparent before the rice flour. Hence, the dough become sticky and soggy. Do you know what I did wrong?<br />TanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389038925487522743.post-77377987173617687912013-09-07T20:07:29.149-04:002013-09-07T20:07:29.149-04:00For a box of limestone, I used 1-2 gallon of water...For a box of limestone, I used 1-2 gallon of water.

If you can't find the red, then use the white. Do you have any Asian supermarkets near your area? They have it locate in the can fruit section or flour section. They're only $0.99. After finding the limestone then mix with water and let the stone settle to the bottom. We just want the clean water on top. Now if you want it really chewy, then add a little more tapioca starch. Less starch will make it softer. Also have to cook it thoroughly or it will break easily and not chewy.

Because each person microwave is different therefore you might need to microwave more. The other reason is the limetone water. If your limestone water does not have enough limestone then then it will not give the crisp texture. So what you need to do is add more limestone to the water and wait until the stone sit on the bottom. Now use the top layer of the water. To prevent it from being too thick, I added more water to the recipe. This way you can microwave it for 6 or 7 minutes. When the flour is cooked it will be shiny. <br /><br />Another way to cook this is to heat it in a pot. Stir it constantly until it's silky thicken. You can test bye dripping a couple in the ice water and if it's too soft then cook some more. I've made this many times and it's great. Give it another try with more water and cook it a little longer.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298120337495513348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389038925487522743.post-75740025957756362852009-12-14T22:02:55.955-05:002009-12-14T22:02:55.955-05:00Hi Ch3rri,

Although it looks like the picture you posted when tasting I can still taste the smell of the flour. Seems like it's uncooked or something. I tried another time microwaving it 6 times and a little more seems like it gets a little better. but i remember you saying dont let it too dry. I would grately appreciate any inputs and help. I love this dessert but just seems easy but so hard to get it right.<br />thanks............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389038925487522743.post-27609681291190933822009-11-30T16:41:54.197-05:002009-11-30T16:41:54.197-05:00Hi.

Remember just use the clear water part.<br /><br />You can find the paste at almost any asian supermarket. It should cost $0.99 and you can reuse it many many times.<br /><br />The pototo rice I bought have two face plate with one large hole and the one small. The large one is perfect for the cendol. I don't think they have larger one than that. You can also try Macy's. I got one from them too from Martha Stewart.
