"Measuring Up: A Recipe for Confusion in the Kitchen A Redditor is seeking help in deciphering a recipe from a packet mix of dried Chinese ingredients, which calls for an unusual measurement of "12 bowls of water". The user is puzzled as to what this translates to in more familiar units, such as cups or milliliters. With no clear indication of the intended measurement, the recipe's author has left a crucial step open to interpretation. As the user also wonders about the shelf life of the dried ingredients when stored in airtight containers, the Reddit community is stepping in to offer advice and guidance to help the individual navigate this culinary conundrum."
I’m attempting to take the easy route and use packet mixes of dried ingredients from my local Chinese grocery store. I’m never going to be able to use bulk dried yam, or Korean ginseng, so I’m looking forward to trying these. The instructions say to add “12 bowls of water”. Can anyone help me out as to what kind of measurement that would be in cups or milliliters?
