Cooking rice is easy if you follow a simple formula: 1/2 cup of uncooked rice per person. This typically yields about 1 to 1.5 cups of cooked rice, which is a standard serving size. For 2 people, use 1 cup of uncooked rice and 2 cups of water. Use a 1:2 rice-to-water ratio for optimal results. Adjust according to your preference for softer or firmer rice.
