Re: Chinese Cuisine
Welcome to RSN figbrat_1!
We hope you enjoy our site as much as we do.
Regarding the "A" in front of 1/4 or 1/2, etc. It is the way the recipe was typed.
To orally tell someone a measurement for a recipe you would say "a 1/4 cup..." but to read a recipe it would be "1/4 cup"...so I am assuming that the ingredients were listed that way as an interpretation by the writer.
There are some recipes that have been copy/pasted to the site and there is an "A" in front of each ingredient. Sometimes in copy/paste certain symbols show up that were not on the original. Computers can be so much fun at times!!! LOL
