The typical amount of uncooked rice per person depends on whether rice is served as a side dish or the main course:

• For a side dish, about 1/4 cup (45 grams) of uncooked rice per person is recommended. This yields roughly 3/4 cup (150 grams) of cooked rice

• For a main dish, about 1/2 cup (90 grams) of uncooked rice per person is suggested, which cooks up to approximately 1 1/2 cups (300 grams)

These portions can be adjusted based on the type of rice, individual appetites, and meal composition. For example, Basmati or Jasmine rice servings might be slightly smaller, around 1/4 cup uncooked for a main dish

. In summary:

Serving Type| Uncooked Rice per Person| Cooked Rice Yield
---|---|---
Side Dish| 1/4 cup (45 g)| ~3/4 cup (150 g)
Main Dish| 1/2 cup (90 g)| ~1 1/2 cups (300 g)

Adjust portions upward for larger appetites or if rice is the primary component of the meal
