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

What each ingredient does

Cabbage
Its leaves act as edible wrappers that hold the filling together while cooking.
Potatoes
Starch from the grated potatoes gives the filling body and a soft, binding texture.
Rice
Absorbs moisture from the filling and adds bulk and a tender texture.
Egg whites
Set during cooking to bind the filling so it holds its shape when sliced.
Tomatoes
Add liquid and acidity that moisten the filling and flavour the sauce as it cooks.
