Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until a knife slides through without resistance, about 12–15 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same boiling water, blanch the cabbage wedges for 2 minutes until just tender, then transfer to a colander. Blanch the green beans for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, then transfer. Finally, blanch the bean sprouts for 30 seconds, then transfer. Keep the pot of water at a boil for the eggs.

Lower the eggs gently into the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes for fully set yolks. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, let cool for 5 minutes, then peel and halve lengthwise.
