๐ Washoku & Rice
Japanese cooking calculators: rice-to-water ratios in milliliters and go, dashi yield from kombu and katsuobushi, and washoku recipe scaling.
The three questions of a Japanese kitchen: how much water for this rice, how much dashi will this stock make, and how do I scale this recipe for ten guests.
Rice is measured both in go โ the traditional cup โ and milliliters; dashi yields are given for the standard kombu and katsuobushi ratios; scaling keeps seasonings proportional.
