The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.
