Question: how much water do i need to cook 1 1/2 cups of rice?
Answer: Ratio of rice to water absorption for cooking: 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of water to 1 cup of uncooked rice. By the time the rice has completed cooking, the water should be completely absorbed into the rice. The leftover steam trapped in the pan finishes the cooking process for the rice.
