Flavor stand-ins for the sweet potato

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (rice, flour, sugar):

  1. Arrowrootbetter flavor fit
  2. Sweet potatothe original
  3. Okraabout as good a flavor fit

Fit is the average pairing score against rice, flour, sugar. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
