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

This also can make 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 cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
