how to make mixed vegetables with peanut sauce (gado-gado)

Ingredients:

    * 3 large potatoes
    * 8 oz fresh bean sprouts
    * 1 lb. green string beans
    * 3 carrots
    * ½ small cabbage
    * 1 green cucumber
    * 3 hard-boiled eggs
    * Peanut sauce

Instructions:

    * Boil potatoes, peel and cut in slices.
    * Wash bean sprouts and pinch the brown tail off if preferred. Pour boiling water over bean sprouts, then rinse under cold tap. Drain well.
    * Cut green string beans in diagonal size or bite-size lengths and cook in lightly salted boiling water until just tender. Drain well. Beans should still be crisped to bite.
    * Scrub carrots and cut into thin strips, cook until tender. Drain well.
    * Slice cabbage and discard the center stem. Wash it out in boiling salted water for a minute or two, until it's tender but not limp. Drain and refresh it under cold water.
    * Peel cucumber skin and slice thin.
    * Slice the hard-boiled eggs into flower like.
    * Put all the vegetables in a large platter with each type of vegetables in each own section and serve cold accompanied by warm peanut sauce, which is poured over individual serving.
    * Ready made Peanut sauce can be bought at Asian Supermarket. You only need to add water to it. Or you can make peanut sauce from scratch.
