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

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