One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can made a dish do more often .
