Ingredients
  

  • Steamed Jasmine Rice soaks up sauce
  • Crisp Garlic Green Beans crunchy texture
  • Tangy Asian Cucumber Salad sharp, acidic, cooling
  • Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes creamy, mellow garlic
  • Zesty Pickled Red Cabbage tangy, crunchy, acidic
  • Golden Crispy Egg Rolls shatteringly crisp

Method
 

  1. Pick 2–3 sides that balance the main dish, combining a fresh or crunchy salad, a starchy side, and a vegetable; add a sauce or pickle for extra dimension if desired.
  2. Start preparing the side with the longest cook time first and finish with the quickest side last to have everything ready together.
  3. Plate the sides with the honey garlic meatballs; add sauces or garnishes as appropriate to complete the meal.

Notes

Choose one salad or pickle and keep it separate from starchy sides to prevent a heavy or mushy meal.
