Some may label the floor below ground as B (for basement.) There can be two floors below ground, labeled B1, and B2. Sometimes the main floor is labeled L for lobby. Sometimes numbers can skip a floor or the other way around. Some numbers start numbering the actual first floor (whether above or below ground as '1'. Strictly speaking, the first floor is always the actual first floor, if it is the first floor the building has, but don't use that. You can quickly figure out a building floor numbering plan by glancing at the buttons in the elevator.

Ingredient:

4. Spring onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, MSG or pork stock powder, and sugar to taste.
Instruction:
- Clean pork and shrimp, ground them together with 2 cloves of spring onion. Then mix them well with a little sugar, half a teaspoon of salt, and pepper.
- Separate cabbage and spring onion then clean them. Blanch them in boiling water for 15 seconds. Fish them out of the boiling water, and put them into a separate dish. Slice cabbage in half. Remove the core in the end.
- 1 teaspoon of ground pork will be wrapped in each cabbage leaf. Then use 1 sprig of spring onion to tie.
- After finishing, put all into boiling water. Seasoning them. When it reaches the boiling point, fish out the cabbage rolls. Put into a pot with a dash of MSG or pork stock powder. Before serving, garnish with some minced onions and a dash of cilantro.

Question though, in the last step when it says to season them how are you seasoning them in the water? Do you mean to cook them or are you seasoning the water? 🤔

U.S. Americans usually cook by volume and not weight. This is a pain when converting recipes. 😅. I own a food scale, but that’s pretty rare in most American homes.

Americans or at least the ones I know might not know what a spring onion is since they are similar to scallions and green onions, but slightly different. Scallions and green onions are more common where I live.

These are just fun facts and not something you need to change about your recipe unless you want to make it easier for people in the U.S.

Hope this helps! Sounds yummy!
