Do you serve laksa as a single dish or do you add some veggie sides? I have committed to making chicken laksa for dinner on Sunday but wondering what to serve as sides. All I can think of is cucumber salad with an asian dressing. Or do you think it makes more sense just to throw in extra veg into the laksa itself for a one bowl meal? What veggie sides would make a nice contrast?

Last time I ate laksa in SE Asia was at the student cantine at the National University of Singapore when I was involved in a grad student project there. They threw in a quartered tomato and some beansprouts into each bowl before ladling in thelaksa. But that was breakfast laksa.

    Tomoatoes, bean sprouts, and cucumber salad with an asian dressing. Veggies are always good to incorporate.
