N.B., the last entry under "Ingredients" seems wrong as 3.52 fl. Oz. is not 1 full cup. As this is Chinese measures, however, it could be that this is a teacup measure.

This table is very useful is you are a restaurant or caterer. It won't matter much to the home cook, but the table is provided as a matter of convenience.
