How much rice do you cook per person?

The amount of rice you cook per person depends on several factors, including the type of rice, the desired serving size, and personal preferences. Here are general guidelines for different types of rice:

1. Long Grain Rice (Basmati, Jasmine):

- 1/2 cup of uncooked rice per person for a regular serving.

- 3/4 cup of uncooked rice per person for a generous serving.

2. Medium Grain Rice:

- 2/3 cup of uncooked rice per person for a regular serving.

- 1 cup of uncooked rice per person for a generous serving.

3. Short Grain Rice (Sushi Rice):

- 3/4 cup of uncooked rice per person for a regular serving.

- 1 cup of uncooked rice per person for a generous serving.

4. Brown Rice (Long, Medium, or Short):

- 1 cup of uncooked rice per person for a regular serving.

- 1 1/2 cups of uncooked rice per person for a generous serving.

These guidelines are approximate, and you may adjust the amounts according to your personal preferences, cooking method (e.g., stovetop, rice cooker), and the desired meal composition. For instance, if you're serving rice as a side dish, you may want to cook less; if it's a main component of the meal, you may want to cook more.

Always follow the cooking instructions on the rice package for the recommended water ratios and cooking times specific to the type and brand of rice you're using.
