From 7 of 7 ingredient lines (100% of the measured weight), divided into 1 serving as stated in the video. Typical amounts assumed for spring onion, leftover Hainanese chicken rice, peanut oil, because the video doesn’t say how much. Not counted because the video gives no amount: soy sauce, sesame oil, MSG. Source: USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy (2018-04, public domain) + 4 Branded Foods records.
Equipment
What the video didn’t say
- Exact measurements for the oils, soy sauce, sesame oil, and MSG
- Exact heat levels used on the induction stove
- The second recipe shown in the video by Liz (which uses pork fat and sambal belacan) is not fully detailed in the main steps
