How to Measure Correctly
Use the spoon-sweep method.Fluff the rice with a spoon, scoop heaping, then level off with a straight edge. Never tap or pack unless a recipe says so — packed cups can add 15–20% more grams.
Weight beats volume for scaling.A cup can vary by 10–15% with how it is scooped. Use a kitchen scale for the gram amounts on this page whenever you double or halve a recipe.
