Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 150 grams of rice (long grain)
- 1 cup of rice (long grain) = 185g
- 150g ÷ 185g/cup = 0.81 cups × 16 = 12.97 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different rice varieties have different densities. Short-grain rice packs more densely per cup than long-grain because the rounder grains fill gaps more efficiently.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
