Folks,
I have this recipe from YSCY and need some advice.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cow's Milk Buns
- ---------------
White Flour (five chin), cow's milk (two sheng), liquid butter (one chin),
fennel (one liang. Slightly roasted).
[For] ingredients use salt and a little soda and combine with the flour. Make
the buns.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When soda is mentioned, I assume it's not Sodium Bicarbonate but something
else? Can someone advise?
Also, does anyone know what the following measurements are: chin, sheng, liang?
I've been ok when all the measurements are the same (so I can do things by
proportions) but am stumpted when the measurements are all separate. I combed
'A Soup for the Qan' with no luck.
I showed a Taiwanese guy from the office the plates from YSCY and was quite
surprised when he could read it very well. I assume that Chinese really has'nt
changed all that much in 700 years?
Cheers,
Drake.
