Ingredients
2 soybean curd cakes (about 1 pound in all), drained
3 small boiling potatoes
3/4 pound fresh green beans, washed, trimmed, and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 pound fresh bean sprouts
Sufficient oil for frying
1 large head cabbage or iceberg lettuce, shredded
3 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
6 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
1 cucumber, scrubbed, scored, and sliced
Peanut Sauce
Directions
Wrap bean cakes in paper towels and place them between two flat, fairly lightweight objects, such as small cheese boards, to squeeze out any remaining water.
Let sit 20 to 30 minutes, replacing or adding towels as they become saturated.
Steam or boil the potatoes just until done.
Drain, cool, peel, and slice fairly thick.
Steam or boil green beans until tender but still crisp.
Remove, cool, and set them aside.
Steam or boil the bean sprouts 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove and cool them down.
Pour several inches of oil into a deep heavy pan.
When oil is hot (about 365 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer), add the lightly pressed soybean cakes and fry each one several minutes, until crisp and golden brown on all sides.
Remove, drain, cool, and cut the bean cakes into thick slices or cubes.
The salad is now ready to be assembled and served.
On a large platter or individual salad plates, arrange the cooked ingredients in a decorative fashion, adding the shredded cabbage or iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, eggs, and cucumber.
