Directions

Peel and slice the potatoes. Blanch the carrot slices in a little boiling water until tender but still crisp. Do the same with the cabbage and beans. Put the bean sprouts in a colander and pour boiling water over them. Slice the bean curd and cucumbers and break watercress into small sprigs.
