Why it works: Rice and beans match in chemistry and in kitchens. They rank in the top 3% of all ingredient pairs, and 942 recipes mention both. Both carry trans,trans-2,4-nonadienal, which smells fatty, green. The science ↓

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs
Flavor stand-ins for the onion
How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (rice, butter, peas, mushroom, sauce, cucumber, beans):
- Tomatobetter flavor fit
- Asparagusbetter flavor fit

- Onionthe original
Fit is the average pairing score against rice, butter, peas, mushroom, sauce, cucumber, beans. 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).
