Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Rice
Forms the bulk of the dish and browns lightly when fried with the other ingredients.
Butter
Provides fat for sautéing the onions and carries flavour through the pan.
Soy sauce
Adds salty, savoury depth and colour as it cooks into the rice.
Onion
Softens and sweetens when sautéed, forming an aromatic base.
Garlic
Adds pungent aroma that mellows and deepens during gentle frying.
Grilled chicken breast
Supplies cooked protein and a firm, meaty texture to the rice.

The step that matters

Frying the rice until light brown. Rice fried in fat until lightly browned develops toasted flavour through the Maillard reaction. Cooking it dry and separating the grains first keeps it from clumping or turning mushy.

Swap the clove

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (rice, chicken, garlic, onion, shrimp, butter, celery):

  1. Thymefits better
  2. Parsleyfits better
  3. Turmericfits better
  4. Clovethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against rice, chicken, garlic, onion, shrimp, butter, celery. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
