I have a fair number of Chinese language cookbooks, all of which give useful instructions like "add the correct amount of ____",  or "add enough ____", or the big favourite: "add the appropriate amount of ____" without ever specifying what those measurements might be.

Then, I swear, several of them say "Cook until cooked." (My translation)
