Measuring 300g 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, 300 Grams (300g) translates to 1.90 US cups (1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (30.38 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.

Why does cooked rice weigh less per cup than dry rice? ▾
Cooked grains swell to nearly triple their raw volume with water, meaning far fewer individual grains occupy the volume of a cup.

Chilled rice grains firm up through starch retrogradation and separate easily, spooning slightly lighter (150–155g) than warm, moist rice.
