- Is 1 cup of cooked sushi rice the same weight as 1 cup of dry sushi rice?
- No. One cup of cooked sushi rice weighs about 200 g, while one cup of dry sushi rice weighs 225 g. They are different states: dry rice soaks up water and swells to roughly 3.11 times its volume as it cooks, so a single dry cup makes several cooked cups. Cooking changes the weight per cup, so the dry and cooked gram figures are not interchangeable. Use the cooked rice converter to switch between dry and cooked amounts. Open the cooked rice converter
- How do cups and tablespoons compare as units?
- Cups and tablespoons are both volume units, so the conversion between them does not vary by ingredient. One metric cup holds about 16.67 tablespoons or 50 teaspoons, and the ratio stays fixed regardless of what you are measuring. The volume converter handles any amount between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres. Cups to tablespoons

Related to Sushi Rice
Arborio Rice
Arborio is the closest substitute for sushi rice: both are short-grain and starchy, yielding a sticky, cohesive result. Use 1:1; the slightly creamier arborio texture works well in rice pudding and acceptably for rice bowls. See our Arborio Rice converter.
White Rice
White long-grain rice can replace sushi rice in most dishes, though the lower starch means it won't cling together as well. For sushi rolls, the grains stay loose; add a touch of rice vinegar and let it cool slowly to get closer to the sticky texture. See our White Rice converter.
Brown Rice
Wholegrain rice with more fibre and a nuttier flavour. See our Brown Rice converter.
Basmati Rice
Aromatic long-grain rice with a light, fluffy texture. See basmati rice in cups.
