Hi, how much water is needed for Step 6?
Tash says
The mention of water is from the old version of the recipe which used chicken stock powder and 700g water to make up 700g chicken stock liquid. There wouldn't be any extra water required 🙂
Trent Prince says
may i ask what MC off means?
Tash says
This means to remove the Measuring Cup (MC) during the cooking step 🙂
