Sauce lifted over golden rice dish (5)
I believe the answer is:
pilau
'rice dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sauce lifted over golden' is the wordplay.
'sauce' becomes 'lip' (I've seen this before**).
'lifted' is a reversal indicator (going up in down clue).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'golden' becomes 'au'.
'lip' reversed gives 'pil'.
'pil'+'au'='PILAU'
(Other definitions for pilau that I've seen before include "Type of rice" , "Spicy rice dish from the East" , "Indian dish of rice boiled with meat, vegetables, spices etc" , "Spiced rice dish" , "Exotic dish" .)
