What to serve with chicken satay?

[Banshee]

I want to make chicken satay for dinner tonight but don't know what to serve with it? I have made this many times before with the spicy peanut dipping sauce but have always made it as an appetizer. Any suggestions?

Basmati rice and cucumber onion salad with a sweet vingary dressing. Here's the recipe for the salad.

We just had chicken satay last night! It combines three of the girls' favorite things - chicken nuggets, food on a stick, and peanut butter.

Except I copped out and made it with one of those bag-o'-rice-and-stuff sides. But hey, it worked! We actually made it once with a rice noodle dish, but that didn't go over as well. My husband and I like it a lot though!

Here's a link to the noodle recipe and the recipe we've used to make chicken satay/peanut sauce.

At Cheeseburger in Paradise, they serve it with Pineapple Rice Pilaf. Very tasty, but I don't know how to make it. If your interested, maybe try googling for a recipe.

No where near Jersey, but I may stop at the local Thai restaurant and grab some for dinner in your honor.

I usually do Satay with rice, Tom Kha soup (chicken with coconut milk and curry), and Nam Sod (a ground pork dish served over lettuce leaves). I love Thai food!!

A banana basmati rice goes nice, thw sweet offsets the spicy chicken satay.

I'd jazz up regular rice by using chicken stock/aromatics--maybe a little finely diced sauteed onion/celery/carrot mix) or chicken stock/fruit--raisins or any diced dried fruit, crushed pineapple or diced apple.

Something green--green beans w/almonds? Broccoli stalks (we always just called them little trees and the kids ate them!) or a tossed salad with ginger dressing. <<----I LOVE the ginger dressing you get at Oriental restaurants!

Thanks guys for all the great ideas. I am making the cucumber salad that EvilGenius suggested and Jasmine rice. Also peanut noodles! It smells really good in my house right now! Thanks again!
