Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions.
Heat a deep skillet with oil to medium heat, add in the onion and garlic and cook until slightly transparent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and leave to reduce, about 7 minutes.
Add dijon mustard, paprika powder and sambal oelek to the skillet along with plant cream and sour cream. Give everything a stir before leaving to simmer until sauce starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
