cooked rice
Boiled white grains
Cooked rice is rice that has been boiled or steamed until soft and edible.
The phrase appears in recipes and nutritional contexts where the distinction from uncooked rice matters—a cup of cooked rice weighs more and has different caloric density than a cup of dry rice: Serve over two cups of cooked rice.
