Rice is always good too. a cole slaw with an asian vinagrette or maybe some mini spring rolls The answerer above reminded me of a great cole slaw I made last year. This will go perfectly with your Thai wrap. The coleslaw is very forgiving and easy to adjust the seasonings for your personal tastes. A big plus is that it tastes even better the day after!
