Measuring 200g of Cooked White Rice in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of cooked white rice weighs 158g when measured gently spooned, 200 Grams (200g) translates to 1.27 US cups (1 ¼ cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¼ cups (20.25 tablespoons total) using gently spooned technique. Fluff cooked rice gently with a fork and spoon into the measuring cup without compressing. Pressing cooked rice squeezes out air and compacts moisture, skewing cup weight from 158 grams upward past 185 grams.
