Answer

Answer key: Rice to Water Ratio worksheet

1. Water: 4 cups
1. Parboiled (converted) rice typically takes 2 cups of water per cup of rice, so multiply
  $2 cups rice \times 2 cups water per cup$ $= 4 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $4 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 946 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $2 cups dry \times 3.5$ $= 7 cups cooked$
4. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low
  $20–25 min$
2. Water (at least): 12 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $2 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 12 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $12 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 2,839 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $2 cups dry \times 3$ $= 6 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $15–20 min$
3. Water: 1.5 cups
1. Jasmine rice typically takes 1.5 cups of water per cup of rice, so multiply
  $1 cups rice \times 1.5 cups water per cup$ $= 1.5 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $1.5 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 355 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $1 cups dry \times 3$ $= 3 cups cooked$
4. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low
  $15–18 min$
4. Water (at least): 6 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $1 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 6 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $6 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 1,420 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $1 cups dry \times 3$ $= 3 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $15–18 min$
5. Water (at least): 6 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $1 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 6 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $6 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 1,420 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $1 cups dry \times 3$ $= 3 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $15–20 min$
6. Water: 4.5 cups
1. Brown long-grain rice typically takes 2.25 cups of water per cup of rice, so multiply
  $2 cups rice \times 2.25 cups water per cup$ $= 4.5 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $4.5 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 1,065 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $2 cups dry \times 3$ $= 6 cups cooked$
4. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low
  $40–45 min$
7. Water (at least): 6 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $1 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 6 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $6 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 1,420 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $1 cups dry \times 3$ $= 3 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $15–18 min$
8. Water (at least): 12 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $2 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 12 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $12 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 2,839 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $2 cups dry \times 3$ $= 6 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $15–18 min$
9. Water (at least): 6 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $1 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 6 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $6 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 1,420 mL$
3. Rice roughly triples in volume as it absorbs water, so estimate the cooked amount
  $1 cups dry \times 3$ $= 3 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $40–45 min$
10. Water (at least): 6 cups
1. For boil-and-drain, use at least 6 cups of water per cup of rice so the grains move freely
  $1 cups rice \times 6 cups water per cup$ $= 6 cups water$
2. Change to milliliters for a metric jug (1 US cup = 236.588 mL)
  $6 cups \times 236.5882$ $= 1,420 mL$

  $1 cups dry \times 3.5$ $= 3.5 cups cooked$
4. Boil uncovered, then taste a few minutes before the usual time and drain
  $45–55 min$
