How to measure white rice (uncooked) accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh white rice (uncooked) on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of white rice (uncooked) weighs about 185 grams (6.53 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts white rice (uncooked) and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
