according to the ingredients on the bottle of lye water, it is water, potassium carbonate and sodium bi-carbonate solution. i have never sub this before but i guessed you could dilute baking soda, it should have the same alkali function but then the question of how much?

which part of the world are you in? lye water is readily available in the asian store. i like to buy the brand koon chun, product of hong kong.

I can't wait to try one of your recipes. I can't seem to find tapioca flour. Is it the same as glutinous rice flour or tapioca starch?

tapioca starch/flour is not the same as glutinous rice flour.

you could sub with cornflour/cornstarch though
