I don't think stark specified how much rice. Trying to cook rice for one is
like trying to cook soup for one, unless you're buying cans of Campbell's.
There's always going to be more than one serving. (And those servings sizes
are questionable at best.)

I find I wind up with about three ups of cooked rice, two of which might be
consumed in a day or two. But then you still have another cup to deal with.
Do you want to eat rice day after day? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe you like
stir fry with rice. Maybe not.

I deliberately cooked enough rice to freeze to use in my homemade frozen
lunches. Better than taking those over-priced frozen dinners to the office
or going out for fast food.

Freezing was merely a suggestion. I have no idea how much rice stark makes
at a time.
