> The Tangzhong roux technique was developed in Asia around 2000. The technique was first mentioned by Yvonne Chen in her book, “Bread Doctor”, published in Taiwan in about 2003. Tangzhong means "soup" in Chinese.

I have no idea whether that's true, but if it did originate in Taiwan it would make the language issue make more sense.
- kazinator 7y agoWhich Chinese "tangzhong" word means "soup"? 湯汁 is "tāng zhī", for instance. The first Chinese-English dictionary I found with DuckDuckGo results tends to confirm my hypothesis: https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=1&wdqb=%E6%B9%AF%E7%A8%AE https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=... "(loanword from Japanese 湯種 yudane)"
