I'd seen lye water but didn't make the connection to Chinese cookery - I'll try my local - thanks for that.

I'd read about the baking soda thing but it reportedly doesn't give as good a finish.

Heating up the baking soda turns it chemically into something else stronger so maybe worth trying if you can't get hold of other stuff

It turns into salt, water & carbon dioxide when it's heated, no?
