If you don't have a measuring cup at home, you can measure the water with your fingers. For example, when cooking, you usually put your middle finger in the water, taking the height of a knuckle as the standard. The horizontal line just reaches the first knuckle (based on the plane of the meter, not the bottom of the pot! )
Actually, to be honest, everyone has different tastes. Some people like to eat rotten food, while others like to eat food with many particles. So there is no specific standard. Generally, the ratio of water to rice in steamed rice is 2: 1. If you cook porridge, add water one by one.
