Chicken And Pork In Lettuce

These orders [love for God and love for money] are diametrically opposed. The one commands you to walk by faith; the other to walk by sight. The one to be humble; the other to be proud. The one to set your affections on things above; the other to set them on the things that are on the earth. The one to look at the things unseen and eternal; the other to look at the things seen and temporal. The one to have your conversation in heaven; the other to cleave to the dust. The one to be careful for nothing; the other to be full of anxiety. The one to be content with such things as you have; the other to enlarge your desires. The one to be ready to distribute; the other to withhold. The one to look at the things of others; the other to look at one’s own things. The one to seek happiness in the Creator; the other to seek happiness in the creature. Is it not plain? There is no serving two such masters.

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Can be found in Oriental markets. Soak in fresh water for 1
hour.  Chop the meats and marinate ONLY THE PORK in the marinade
mixture for  15 minutes. Heat a wok and add the oil and salt. Chow
(stir-fry) the  chicken first, just until barely done, and remove. Add
the pork along  with the marinade and chow until done to taste. Remove.
Heat the wok  again and add the oil for the eggs. Beat the eggs and
chow over  medium heat so they become scrambled but not dry. Chop them
up in the  wok with the wok paddle and remove to a plate. Add the
remaining  ingredients except the lettuce to the wok and chow until the
fungus  is hot. Add the pork, chicken and eggs to the mixture and toss
until  all is hot. Remove to a serving bowl. Serve by wrapping a few
tablespoons of the meat mixture in a lettuce leaf. This recipe serves
6 as part of a Chinese meal.  Comments: If you have never had such a
dish in lettuce leaves you are  in for a treat.  Recipe Source: THE
