How ½ cup of rice vinegar works out
One US cup of rice vinegar weighs 239 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 239 × 0.5 = 120 g. In the other direction, 120 g of rice vinegar divided by 239 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of rice vinegar (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 126 g.
Tip: Check whether your rice vinegar is plain or 'seasoned' before using — seasoned already contains sugar and salt, which will throw off a balanced recipe.
