Scaling a Rice Bowl for Three

A third person at lunch needs a complete half-batch more, not a rough extra spoonful of whichever ingredient is easiest to see. Scaling the table keeps rice and salmon in the recipe’s original proportion.

Red Cabbage Salmon Rice Bowls serve two with 140 g uncooked rice and 180 g canned salmon.

Change two servings to three

1. Choose Red Cabbage Salmon Rice Bowls.
2. Enter 3 servings and scale.
3. Read the rice and salmon lines together.

Check both main quantities

The result is 210 g uncooked rice and 270 g canned salmon.

The multiplier is one and a half. Rice is measured uncooked and salmon is the drained canned ingredient listed in the recipe; changing preparation state would make those weights a different comparison.

Drain the salmon before weighing the amount specified by the recipe.
