DRESSING
Soak bean threads or rice sticks in hot water until soft, about 30 minutes.
Drain thoroughly and cut into 4-inch lengths.
Snap off stems of snowpeas and discard.  Blanch snowpeas for 5 seconds in
in 2 quarts boiling water. Immediately transfer snowpeas to a bowl of ice
water. When cold, drain and pat dry, then cut into fine slivers. Stem and
seed pepper, then slice into 2-inch slivers. Remove and discard dirty ends
of mushrooms and separate strands.
In a food processor or blender, mince the garlic and ginger. Add orange
peel, cilantro and green onions. Process until finely minced, then add
remaining dressing ingredients and blend to combine.
To assemble, combine the bean threads (or rice sticks) with the other salad
ingredients.  Pour the dressing over and toss to combine thoroughly. May be
prepared up to 2 hours in advance.

A Message from our Provider:

“We simply prepare ourselves. God fills us.”

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the law. The law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man's heart unless you first send the needle of the law to make way for it. If men do not understand the law, they will not feel that they are sinners. And if they are not consciously sinners, they will never value the sin offering. There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.

C.H. Spurgeon
