A recipe calls for 200 g of rice but I only have a measuring cup — how much should I use?

200 g ÷ 185 g per cup ≈ 1.08 cups, so just over 1 cup. For rice, slight differences like this rarely affect the final dish, since the water ratio is more important than exact rice quantity.

Does the conversion change for cooked rice versus uncooked rice?

Yes, significantly — cooked rice absorbs water and roughly triples in volume and weight, so this conversion (185 g per cup) applies only to uncooked, dry rice. If a recipe specifies cooked rice, you'd need to measure it after cooking, not before.

Rice (uncooked): 185 Grams

Uncooked rice measures fairly consistently by volume — about 185 g per cup — though the exact weight can vary slightly between rice types (long-grain, short-grain, basmati) due to differences in grain size and shape. For most recipes, this variation is small enough that a single conversion factor works across common rice varieties.
