Approximate

Mnemonic

A spoon to measure a geoduck is a very approximate measurement. Geoducks are big, spoons are small. Still, we'll get the approximation going, right?

Do the comparison. A spoonful of geoduck aka a whole geoduck on a spoon. This is a spoonful, right? This is what the recipe wanted, I think...

Mnemonic

Maybe this is too much geoduck, even if we're going for an approximate. So, you take the core (ころ) of the geoduck and measure that instead.

That's a little better. Not too much geoduck. Still a lot, but more like an approximate.
