      1/2   lb           Fresh spinach -- cleaned

      1/2   sm           Head green cabbage -- shredded
                         -- and lightly steamed
      1/2   lb           Mung bean sprouts
                         -- washed thoroughly
                         -----FOR THE DRESSING-----
    4                    Garlic cloves
      1/4   c            Roasted peanuts
    5       ts           Soy sauce or tamari
    3       tb           Lime or lemon juice
    4       ts           Brown sugar
      1/4   ts           Cayenne pepper
    2       tb           Water
 
   Heat the oil and salt in a medium frying pan over medium heat.  Add the
   tofu in small batches and saute until lightly browned on both sides, about
   5 minutes.  Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
   
   Arrange the bean curd, potatoes, spinach, and cabbage on individual plates.
   
   Prepare the dressing by placing all of the dressing ingredients in a
   blender and blending until smooth.  If the dressing seems too thick, add
   another teaspoon of water.
   
   Top the vegetables and bean curd with the bean sprouts and dressing, and
   serve immediately.
