Covenants are not merely contracts or promises. Rather, covenants are relationships under authority, with both obligations and rewards. The terms and benefits of the relationship are spelled out, and so are the consequences if the relationship is broken. But what is perhaps most significant about biblical covenants is that when God enters into a covenant, He must condescend to initiate it, He sets the terms, He provides the benefits, and He executes the judgment when the covenant is broken.

INGREDIENTS

		Water to cover
6		Eggs
3/4	lb	Lean pork
1	tb	Cornstarch
3	tb	Water
1	tb	Sherry
1	ts	Ginger juice
		Oil for deep-frying
1	c	Steaming liquids
2	tb	Soy sauce
1/2	ts	Salt
1	ts	Sugar
1	tb	Cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place eggs in cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently
12 to 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile mince or grind pork. Blend cornstarch and cold water to a
paste; then add to pork along with sherry and ginger juice, mixing well.
Divide mixture into 12 parts. Form each into a ball, then flatten into a
thick patty.
3. Cool eggs thoroughly under cold running water; then shell. Cut each egg
in half lengthwise. Then cut a small slice from the back of each half so
that it will lie flat when turned yolk side up.
4. Arrange eggs yolk-side up on a shallow heatproof dish; top each with a
meat patty. Steam for 10 minutes (see "How-to Section"). Drain eggs,
reserving the liquids.
5. Heat oil. Carefully lower in stuffed eggs, meat-side up. Deep-fry,
basting with hot oil, until golden. Drain on paper toweling.
6. Meanwhile in a saucepan blend steaming liquids, soy sauce, salt, sugar,
and remaining cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring to thicken. Then pour
sauce over eggs and serve at once. VARIATION: For the pork, substitute
beef.
