You too never know how much rice to put in the pan ?
Either I make too much rice and we eat it for a week.
Either I don't make enough and we have to restrict the portions!
But that was before my grandmother confided in me her unstoppable trick to properly dose the raw rice per person.
To make neither too much nor too little, the trick is to make half a glass of rice mustard per person. Watch:
1. Grab a mustard glass.
2. Fill the glass halfway with rice.
3. Pour the rice into boiling water.
4. Repeat as many times as there are people at the table.
There you go, you now know how to prepare the right amount of rice every time :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Now just follow the directions on the package to finish cooking the rice.
This little trick is very handy for making the right amount of rice as a side dish.

Rice is a complete and economical food. But it would be a shame to waste it because we've done too much, don't you think?
Although you can always make gratins, fried rice or a salad with the leftovers.
Remember that this stuff is the right amount of rice per person as a side dish.
Obviously, if you want to make a risotto or a paella, you have to refer to the recipe to know the right dosage of rice.
To feed your guests well, you need 60 g of rice per person.
So everyone has enough to eat, but there aren't too many leftovers.
And 60g, it happens to be the amount of rice in half a glass, like a mustard glass.
Know that it also corresponds roughly to 3 heaping tablespoons of rice.
It's very practical, especially when you don't have a kitchen scale to weigh the rice.
