coleslaw or a nice lettuce salad, and i guess fries, or hashbrowns, or roasted spuds...maybe a pasta dish. you used to be able to buy a satay pasta mix and we often had that with nibbles. dont think you can buy it now.

Tea?Do you mean afternoon tea or dinner?If it's for afternoon tea you could serve green tea rather than black tea.

Fried Noodles. 300 g yellow noodles 1/4 cup white sesame seeds 2 tablespoons cooking oil 4 onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic, chopped finely 2 teaspoons red chili, chopped finely 100 g button mushrooms, sliced thinly 1 red pepper, cut into thin strips 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons sugar
Heat a dry pan on moderate heat and toast the sesame seeds for about 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan gently until golden. Remove immediately from the pan to prevent burning. Use a food mill to crush the toasted sesame seeds.Heat up a wok on moderate high heat and add in half the combined oil. Stir-fry the garlic, chili, onionfor 2-3 minutes, remove and set aside. S
Add the remaining oil to the wok and add the red pepper and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until just crisp. Add the soy sauce, sugar, water and noodles to the wok. Toss gently to separate and coat the noodles in the liquid. Cover with a lid and steam for about 5 minutes, tossing well. . Sprinkle with crushed sesame seeds and serve hot.
