Might well do but this kind of use would ruin the flavour so only use cheap easy cook rice. Rice absorbs about 3 times it weight in water, though as you aren't actually boiling it then it would be a little less I imagine.
Very dry silica gel absorbs about half and portland cement about a third of its weight in water.
