Hey all, I'm planning on making a big pot of 肉じゃが for a potluck today and stumbled upon this recipe:
The ingredients list calls for the typical "golden ratio" broth as follows:
What does the 大 mean in this list? Does it refer to tablespoons?
Thanks!

大1 = 大さじ （おおさじ）= 1 tablespoon
小1 = 小さじ （こさじ） = 1 teaspoon
Be a little careful when cooking from Japanese recipes because the definitions of teaspoon, tablespoon, and cup vary from country to country. In Japan they are
Teaspoon 小匙 = 5ml
Tablespoon 大匙 = 15ml
Cup カップ = 200ml
For example, in Australia they are 5ml, 20ml, and 250ml.
If you’re going to be cooking with Japanese recipes (or any recipe that uses tbsp/tsp I guess lol) I recommend getting a [Japanese measuring spoon like this :)](https://amzn.asia/d/41EtXcg)
That one is reversible so the big side is an 大さじ and the underside is a 小さじ 🙂
big spoon!
Be e
大匙 - big spoon aka tablespoon
小匙 – small spoon aka teaspoon
