HOW MUCH RICE PER PERSON?

Cooking is an art; we all know that. But, sometimes even master chefs have
trouble when it comes to measuring quantities of the food items. One such food
item is the Asian staple--- rice. As the cookbooks state- just put the rice to
the cooker, add water twice the quantity, and it’s done. All ready to be
consumed. But, the main point is in figuring out the exact amount, as a lesser
quantity would starve people you are to feed, and more quantity will end up in
the dustbin. So how much rice per person needs is the frequently asked question.


HOW MUCH RICE DOES A PERSON NEED EACH MEAL?

Now, first of all, we need to know about the recommended rice quantity for an
individual per serving. It is important to keep your diet balanced, healthy and
to know when you are overeating.

IS IT THE MAIN DISH OR SIDE DISH?

Before cooking, you should have an idea about whether you want to serve it as a
side dish or a main dish.

White Rice

Many dieticians recommend a ¼ cup or 90 g uncooked rice and roughly twice this
amount i.e. 180 g for an average person, for side dish and main dish
respectively.

Another important fact that messes with this fixed amount is the type of rice
used. Long grain rice, like basmati and jasmine rice, is known to swell up to
double its actual size. Thus half a cup of uncooked basmati rice yields in a cup
of cooked rice, containing 200 calories. Similar goes for short grain rice like
Arborio rice, although the calorie count is higher in their one cup of cooked
rice (about 240 calories per cup).

Brown Rice

It's also hard to know how much rice to cook for each one but here is a general
suggestion. In the article "Consumer Reports" published in 2012, it recommended
that each person should consume no more than 2 servings of rice per week (1
serving yields from 1/4 cup of uncooked rice). But AARP suggested that, if the
brown rice is thoroughly washed, cooked with a water-rice ratio of 6:1, and
drained all extra water after cooked, you can reduce that recommended amount by
about 30%.

Besides, per cup calorie count of brown rice falls somewhere in the middle of
long grained white rice and short grained white rice, i.e., 220 calories. Hope
that cleared out upon how much rice per person, you should cook based upon their
variety.

TWO TIPS FOR MAKING TASTY RICE

Who doesn’t want to impress their guests? Use up the below sure-shot tips to
cook the tastiest of tasty rice dishes that are perfect for a delicious meal.

 * For fluffy rice, which is lighter and healthier, the ratio of water to rice
   should be a little more than 2:1. This means you should use about 1-3/4 cups
   of water to cook 1 cups of rice.
 * If you don’t mind a non-vegetarian mix to your diet, you can always replace
   water with chicken or beef broth. This unique addition brings up distinct
   flavor to your rice dish. Vegetarians can go for adding vegetable stock
   instead.

CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE RICE NOW

Now, when you are free from the troubles of how much rice per person to cook,
you can focus on choosing the type of rice that will suit your taste. Here are
the top 12 varieties listed, just for you.

1. Long-Grain Rice

As the name suggests, this type is long and slender in appearance, dry and
distinct and most importantly, they swell up after being cooked, making them fit
for all rice dishes, especially one with gravy to accompany them. Other than
that, this variety is good for salads and found in most of the Indian and Middle
Eastern dishes.

2. Basmati Rice

Originally from Pakistan, Basmati rice is known for its distinct flavor and
health benefits it imparts (maintaining blood glucose level). One needs to cook
this variety with absorption techniques to maintain its aroma and taste.

3. Jasmine Rice

Just like Basmati rice, jasmine rice is long grained and aromatic, but it comes
from Thailand. This type stands out because of its stickiness, especially after
it is cooked.

4. Brown Rice

Healthier sister of white rice, brown rice is rich in the raw and nutritious
high-fiber and bran coating. Brown rice takes longer time to cook and is a lot
chewier than its white variety. It has both long and short grains which remain
separate and sticky, respectively after being cooked.

5. Wild Rice

Even though wild rice isn’t rice, but a name given to the North American aquatic
grass seed, it is known to have a nutty and strong flavor and is pretty
expensive. This variety is distinctively used in salads and stuffing.

6. White Rice Blend

A combination of long grained white rice and wild rice, this blend gives the
distinct flavors of varieties, giving additional crunch and smokiness to the
dish. It is best when served with lentils, soups and fish dishes.

7. Calrose Rice

A name given to the medium grained rice, this variety was once grown in
California. It is less sticky and carries a good flavor. So how much rice per
person really depends on the usage of rice and the type of rice.

8. Arborio Rice

A typically Italian risotto variety, this short-grain rice is known for its
partially dissolving property that gives a creamy texture to the dish. Other
than that, Arborio rice is clingy and easy to eat up.

9. Glutinous Rice

Another sticky type, glutinous rice is mushy and can easily stick to each other,
so a perfect fit if you want to make little rice balls. It is perfect with soups
and as a side dish.

10. Black Rice

Raw and brittle, this wild variety looks black when uncooked but turns into
purple afterward. Gives a very nutty and crunchy texture to the dish and is
found in a number of distinct varieties around all Asia, ranging from India to
Thailand.

11. Nishiki Rice

A known sushi variety, Nishiki rice is slightly longer than short grain rice,
sticky and tender, and most importantly, easily available.

12. Koshihikari Rice

This Japanese variety is known for being the premium sushi variety because of
its sweet flavor, sticky texture, and distinct aroma. This variety is short
grained and clingy.
