Start with the ingredient you need to use

If the fridge holds half a cabbage and the pantry has rice, start with the cabbage. Rice fits a lot of dishes, while cabbage narrows the choices to meals that can actually use it up. Add one or two ingredients you have enough of to make a meal, then compare the amounts in the recipes that come up.

When you only have a small amount of an ingredient, treat it as a finishing touch. A few scallions can top egg rice or miso soup. A handful of vegetables can go into a frittata once you cook off any extra moisture.

How ingredient matching works

Add ingredients from your pantry, fridge, or freezer. The finder ranks recipes by how many of your ingredients they use, including related varieties. Select Match every ingredient to see only recipes that use everything you entered. Check the full ingredient list before cooking, since a match may need ingredients you haven’t entered.
