My sister is coming over tomorrow, I'm making Coconut Chicken............?!
Answers: I don't know what to make for a side though, or what would go well..... if anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!!
Sounds wonderful! How about coleslaw, with some crushed pineapple in it? or steamed asparagus ... tropical fruit salad of pineapple chunks, mango, papaya & strawberries .... just white rice ..... Hagen Daz makes a really good Mango Sorbet, if you need something for dessert.....
That sounds Grosssss!
go to paula deen website
mango anything would go good with it, or even mixing rice and pineapple together would be good
what about rice ?
coconut chicken sounds really good you're sister is lucky to have such a considerate sis like you
Yum! You just gave me an idea. =) Thanks!!!
Okay... to your question, strawberry cheesecake for dessert. ;)
Get coconuts or cups that are cool and make it a beach thing! Like Hawaii
Whoever said that's gross is a retard and needs to expand their horizons with food and stop eating nothing but steak and potatoes.
Anyway! Fried rice, snow peas, or a nice curry soup.
Stir fry some veggies, maybe some rice. Depending on where you are the in season veggie steamed? Hope I helped
mash potatoes
salad
rice
soup
hmmm ... if it were me, i would make (jasmine) rice and some kind of green vegetable ... maybe steamed asparagus
regular white rice and steamed veggies. B/c the chicken is so flavorful you dont wanna overpower it with complex sides. keep it simple. I personally like cocunut rice as a side but that might be alot of coconut for your palate. be creative and have fun.
Try a nice Jasmine or Basmati Rice and a green salad. Enjoy.
I love rice mmmmm can never go wrong with rice. and maybe a scoop of ice cream for dessert with a splash of root beer. oh and how bout some corn on the cob?
Its a pretty tricky dish, its unique within its self just because poultry was never meant to be sweet, i'm think corn would go nice with it, creamed spanish, corn bread would go terrific as well, keep the sides sweet, or it'll make the main dish taste a little more tart then you would probley like.
If it's coconut CURRY chicken, lucky! That's my favorite recipe and so easy to make in a crockpot.
We always have it with Basmati or Jasmine rice (add Jasmine flowers and 1 tblsp jasmine tea boiled to the rice after it's cooked for a nice jasmine taste and aroma.) This is all that you need to serve. Unless you need a veggie then serve a side of roasted red peppers and green peppers, soft with some melted butter or splash of balsamic.
Yum can I come over for dinner as well!!! lol. I think since coconut chicken is a Tai dish I would suggest you either serve spring rolls or curry pufs as a side dish and rice to with the chicken I suggest plain rice as the coconut has so much flavour you don't want to overpower the rice with flavours.The curry puffs and spring rolls are both really easy to make. You can buy the spring roll pastry from your frozen section of the supermarket as for the curry puffs you need short crust pastry that you buy aslo and just fill them up with:
cook your potatos then chop them up in cubes add some oil to a hot pan add the potatos toss till a little golden then add curry powder, peas, and a little water to help it not stick, let it cool down then cut the pasty in quarters or round shape with a cookie cutter add the filling and press the sides put in an over tray spray with cooking oil spray on the tray as well as on the pastry then bake, easy. As for the spring rolls they usually have the receipe on the back of package. Then serve it with plum sauce or chillie sauce both can be bought from asian grocery shops, Enjoy.
-white steamed rice with butter.
