Braised Lion’s Head In A Sandy Pot

Penal substitution does not turn God into a cosmic child abuser. It does not reduce Christ to the passive victim of some divine injustice. It does not pit the Trinity against itself. No, in the God-forsakenness of Christ on the cross, the love of God and the justice of God are revealed on our behalf. United in purpose, Father and Son act in concert to save God’s people. The sinless Son of God bears our sin, and then God pours out the wrath that our sin deserves, and Jesus the Son endures it so that we, who deserve that wrath, might never encounter it. This is the gospel, the good news of the cross, and it calls us to forsake our sin, to turn away from it and embrace Christ, the forsaken one, so that we may not be forsaken.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation:  In bowl, thoroughly mix pork, water chestnuts, ginger
root, green onions, cooked rice, dark soy, sesame oil & water. Allow
mixture to marry for 30 minutes. Form into firm balls, one for each
serving, each the size of a tennis ball (about 3 1/2" across).
Braising:  Heat wok or skillet to hot; add oil.  When oil begins to
smoke, introduce meatballs 1 at a time, so as not to cool oil. Fry
meatballs until a brown crust has formed. They must be well crusted  in
order to retain their shape while stewing.  Cooking in Sandy Pot:  Line
sandy pot with shredded Chinese mustard  cabbage; sprinkle with pan oil
from meatballs, salt & sugar. Add  meatballs, then add cool or cold
stock. Bring slowly to boil; cover;  reduce heat to medium & simmer for
about 2 hours. Correct seasoning  if necessary. Serve.  From Gemini's
