300 grams of rice for four
A common guideline is about 75 grams of uncooked rice per person as a side. 300 g covers four people, and in cups that's 1 ½ cups + ½ tsp of uncooked long-grain rice. Measure the rice before cooking; cooked rice weighs and measures very differently (see the "cooked rice" row in the chart).
Why big flour amounts are worth weighing
With 300 grams of flour, the measuring method matters more than at any small amount. A scooped cup can hold 20–40 grams more than a spooned one. Across 2½ cups, that can mean 50 to 100 grams of extra flour, enough to turn a moist cake dry or a soft dough stiff. If you're using cups, spoon the flour in and level it off.
