We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

One of the most serious problems facing the orthodox Christian church today is the problem of legalism. One of the most serious problems facing the church in Paul's day was the problem of legalism. In every day it is the same. Legalism wrenches the joy of the Lord from the Christian believer, and with the joy of the Lord goes His power for vital worship and vibrant service. Nothing is left but cramped, somber, dull, and listless profession. The truth is betrayed, and the glorious name of the Lord becomes a synonym for a gloomy kill-joy. The Christian under the law is a miserable parody of the real thing.

INGREDIENTS

8 c Chicken stock
1/4 lb Shredded lean pork
2 lg Dried black Chinese mushrooms; soaked and shredded
2 sl Fresh ginger; (2 to 3)
2 Dried wood ears; soaked and shredded (optional) (2 to 3)
1/2 pk Firm tofu; drained and cut into 2"x1/4" strips
1/4 c Shredded bamboo shoots
1/4 c Sliced button mushrooms
1/4 c Shredded cooked ham; (optional)
1/2 c Vinegar
1 ts White pepper
3/4 ts Salt
1 ts Toasted sesame oil
3/4 ts Sugar
1 tb Dark soy sauce
1 ts Chili oil
2 Eggs; lightly beaten
1 Scallion; shredded
4 tb Cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring the stock to a boil. Add pork, ginger, black mushrooms, and wood ear.
Cook 2-3 minutes. Discard the ginger. Add remaining ingredients, except the
scallion, eggs, and cornstarch paste. Reduce heat and simmer a couple
minutes. Add cornstarch paste (mix the 4 TB cornstarch with 3 TB water) and
cook until thick but clear. Remove from heat and drizzle in eggs, stirring
to make threads. Garnish with scallions before serving.
Notes -I tend to mix and match among the best ideas from various recipes,
including these, when I make it. For example, the first recipe is the
better one, I think, but I like the extra vinegar, dark soy and white (vs
black) pepper from the second. Some recipes use red pepper flakes or
chopped red peppers. I don't like the taste in this soup -it's hot, but the
wrong sort of hot to my mind. However, you can add a tsp or so, if desired.
I do usually add more white or black pepper than is given, though. One
hint, even in using others' recipes. I've found that the small amount of
sugar suggested in these recipes, used as a seasoning rather than a
sweetner, makes a real difference -seems to highlight the sour from the
vinegar and the heat from the pepper.
