for 2 people should i make 2 cups of rice or 3?

Question

Answer 1

1 cup should be enough

Answer 2

In my family there are 7 people for which I make 3 cups of rice. 5 of the 7 are the rice eaters and normally there is still a small amount left over, therefore I'd suggest 2 cups max.

Have a great dinner

Answer 3

For two people I would say one cup of rice is plenty if you are using regular rice out of a bag. (one cup rice to two cups water).

If you are using instant rice, converted rice or some other rice product, check the serving recommendations and I would double what it says for two...

Answer 4

1 - 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice will be plenty

Answer 5

2 cups water and one cup of dried rice will easily serve 2

Answer 6

I like to make a little extra. We both love rice, and I want leftover rice to put in the fridge so I can make stir-fry the next day.

Answer 7

1 cup is probably enough. Maybe 1.5 cups if you both really really like rice. Rice is cheap, after all.

Answer 8

One cup of dry rice yields two cups of cooked produce. I generall make one cup for two people. If you're really hungry, do two. But three cups will yield six cups of cooked rice. That's way too much!!

Answer 9

1 cup dry or 2 cups cooked, UNLESS the chicken has gravy. Rice is suuuuch a good medium for good gravy....

Answer 10

2 should be sufficient, but if 1 or both of the guests are male it may be a good idea to work with 3 (especially if there's a chance that dinner will be a little late).
