The most clear way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick more different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . 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 make to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit 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 double-duty .
