In the Philippines, it is called "ulam" with English translation of "viand", but I cannot find the word 'viand' in any dictionary. Is there a rightful word for that?

In English the word "viand" means an item of food, particularly something choice or delicious. The word "viand" in french means "beef or red meat." And comes from a Latin word meaning "to live." So the translation of "ulam" to "viand" did not keep the original association of protein with rice. In American english dishes that are often served with rice may have a term referring to the preparation (risotto, paella, stirfry with rice, pilaf, etc) but I don't know of a word used in english to mean served with rice.

The main dish or Entree?
In the US, rice would be the side dish.
