Rice serving 1/4 dry

chrisfuentes2005

Hi there just want to make sure that 1/4 dry cup of rice is for 2 servings. Starting to try new things and some don't say how many servings it makes. Thanks

My rice bag says 1/4 dry is one serving at 150 calories...makes 3/4 cup prepared...but a serving is whatever you want it to me. The stated serving size on the package is just so you can do the math.

I'd suggest weighing your dry rice in grams... And use an entry where you can enter it by grams.

So will i weight it the same after cooked. Because I do stove top with 2 cups of water and one cup of rice for a couple of serving. I weight my rice in grams to make one cups. Thanks for you help

It's not going to weigh the same, it will have absorbed the cooking liquid. If it's water, your calories per serving will be the same. You can measure half of your finished rice either by weight or using a measuring cup, and it'll be your serving. In your case, you are cooking 4 1/4 cup servings of rice and eating 2 of those 1/4 cup servings for your meal, approx 320 calories for your rice.

Ok thanks now i understand. When you want to make 2 serving how much water would you put in

Generally speaking the proportions are the same, 2 parts liquid to 1 part rice. Check your package though because it can vary based on the variety of rice. Personally, I don't think it's worth my time to cook less than a cup of rice. You can use any leftovers for another meal.

I do 100g dry rice as a portion, but I love me some rice!

1 cup serves 4 and only just in my house. It also depends if you are having a spoonful of rice on the side of your plate or a bed of rice for a curry etc

Depending on your scale, you *could* put your pan on the scale and zero it out, add the rice (mark the grams raw somewhere), then add the water, and that will give you the total weight for the rice with the water. Depending on how much you make, then you divide by the desired serving number. Given that there may be some evaporation, it may weigh a tiny bit less once the water is absorbed. BTW, I make mine in bulk and store in the fridge. Cold rice is a resistant starch and can be good for your gut.

Thanks, Ill try doing that next time. Do you weigh the rice after it made when you make it in bulks.

I weigh my rice uncooked in a measuring cup for the water bit, but a serving of rice is around 1/4 cup; however I would say cook 1/2 cup minimum so the rice doesn’t burn or undercook.
