Sounds good to me and not a bit weird, especially since you live in
California ;-). I've never thought that a main dish has to be
matched with sides from the same culinary family. Bok choy goes well
with Kentucky fried chicken, my corn and zucchini side dish goes well
with spareribs whether they are Chinese style or smoked or grilled
with red bbq sauce, Chinese broccoli (gai lon) goes well with steak,
hot spinach salad with bacon, garlic, vinegar goes well with
enchiladas, etc., etc. Cooks Without Borders! -aem
