Frequently Asked Questions
- What is 1 teaspoon of sushi rice in grams?
- 1 teaspoon of sushi rice is 4.5 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 teaspoons of sushi rice is 9 grams and 0.5 teaspoons is 2.25 grams. Use the converter above for any quantity, or check the conversion chart on this page for the most common amounts at a glance. Open the sushi rice converter
- 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

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.
