The most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re making pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak?

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 often you can made a dish do more often .
