for dinner. Not as an appetizer but the main and I can't think of what to go with it? Any help? TIA

 
Ya know...sometimes ya just gotta do what you gotta do! And this was

one of those times and it just doesn't make sense. I mulled around fried rice, noodles etc. and nothing came together so today when my guy called me at lunch I said "What do you think about stuffed baked potatoes and salad with the pork sate with peanut sauce?" He said "Sounds good to me". What can I say....

 
Got here too late...

I'd have suggested green papaya salad and sticky rice with a veg on the side.

 
Yes, it does sound good. I'd love to have the recipe also please. And when

you say sticky rice, do you mean a short grain rice plain? Or anything in it? We love Australian Calrose rice for a sticky rice. It has a nice nutty flavor.

 
Recipe: Sticky rice for satay -- "ketupat " in malaysia

Sticky rice cubes for Satay

Wash one pound of glutinous rice (short grain) in a strainer until all the starch is gone. Place rice in a pan with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover tightly. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Stir with a wooden spoon (stir vigorously) and pack the rice into a 1 inch pie pan or shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover the packed rice with greased foil or oiled parchment and press down firmly. Cover with a weight (I use a 4 cup measuring cup filled with water on a plate) and leave it at room temp for a few hours or until very firm. Take off the weight, the liner, and cut the rice into squares (one to two inch) with a wet knife.

Arrange on lettuce leaves and serve with satay and sauce. The rice is delicious dipped into the sauce!
