Oopps, Forgot to Buy Chicken Broth

In summary, Amanda was trying to make a dish that called for chicken broth, but she had run out. She substituted bouillon cubes for chicken broth, and then had to make other substitutions because she didn't have some of the ingredients called for in the recipe. Overall, the dish was good, but she would make it differently next time.

I'm out of chicken broth, but I do have bouillon cubes. How many cups of broth is in a 14.5 oz can? I'm just trying to figure out how many cubes and how much water to use to substitute.
 
almost 2 cups in 14.5 oz. (2 cups is 16 oz)
Bouillon can be saltier than chicken broth, so becareful not to add to much extra salt to the recipe.

Thanks, I was thinking it was just shy of 2 cups, but wasn't positive. I am kind of nervous to go ahead and make this. I'm making the Speedy Pork Fried Rice. I also had just run out of the Asian seasoning and so I followed the substitution recommendation at the bottom of the recipe card. Of course, I also didn't have fresh ginger root on hand, so I had to substitute that for the dry kind (I used less). So here my recipe is full of substitutions! :rolleyes: Also, the recipe called for salt and I had just put it in w/ the pork, and the substitution called for salt, so I put that in w/ the meat. So then the next step mentioned the broth and I thought, "Oh NO!"Needless to say, I served the kids chicken nuggets and sliced pears and I'm waiting on my dinner. DH works late, so I tend to cook later now. At this point, I might as well wait for him and ask him to pick up a can of broth on his way home. :rolleyes: :)
 
I really enjoyed this dish... If it needs a little something because of the substitutions... add the spicy peanut sauce - YUM!
 
Amanda, I only use the bullion cubes and dont ever leave the salt out of recipes. I have yet to do the pork and rice recipe but mine always turn out fine.

I ended up making it w/ chicken broth. DH called and we needed a couple other things, so he made a quick trip to the store. We ate at 9:30!! I can't wait for school to start, I'll be so much more normal and back on a schedule. The recipe was good. I think maybe next time I'd toast some almonds or put cashews or something in there just for fun and to have something a little crunchy.
 
A can of broth is 14 ounces NET WEIGHT, not FLUID OUNCES. I, too, am trying to find the FLUID OUNCES of a can of broth.
