Spicy cucumber salad. Fairly easy, SO tasty.

Vegetable lo mein, or those fried green beans they have at Chinese places?

Something green. I like steamed peas tossed with a little fresh grated ginger and garlic.

Never thought of something like that. I'll look into it.

I'd suggest something with a starchy crust to replace the starch you're not getting from fried rice.

Fried won tons (filled with whatever your heart desires) or fried egg rolls both fit the bill.

If you don't want to make the wrappers from scratch, pretty sure you can find them in freezer/refrigerated sections. Then just a matter of filling them, sealing them, and shallow frying in say 3/4" (1.5 cm?) of oil until golden brown.
