lettuce
2 chopped onions

1 jar peanut butter
1 tablespoon vinegar

Cook the cabbage, carrots and beans separately until lightly cooked but still crunchy. Cook and slice the potatoes. Fry half the onions with the clove of garlic until golden then add the peanut butter and enough water to bring to a creamy consistency. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and salt to taste.
