Szechuan Noodles With Peanut Sauce

You can feel the hostility of the flesh whenever you approach God – it makes real love for Him into work: Digging around the Bible to find a juicy new insight to impress your small group is like sailing the Caribbean, but poring over the Scriptures to find the Lover of your soul is like skiing up Mount Everest. Conjuring up a happy mood with some music you don’t even know the words to is like solving 2 + 2 with a calculator. But savoring the glory of Christ and His tender love until your heart is softened toward Him is like using mental math to calculate pi to the thousandth place. And giving a birthday present to your best friend is like forcing down some double-fudge brownies. But giving up your extra bedroom to a homeless person in the name of Jesus is like eating the Rockies for breakfast.

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix 1/2 cup vegetable broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, balsamic
vinegar, chili-garlic sauce and minced garlic in medium bowl to blend
well (sauce will be thick). Cook noodles in large pot of boiling
salted water until just tender but still firm to the bite, about 6
minutes. Drain. Rinse noodles under cold water and cool. Cut noodles
into 4 to 5 - inch lengths. Transfer noodles to very large bowl. Toss
with oil to coat. Chiffonade bok choy, julienne carrots and sliced
onions into matchstick-size strips. (Sauce, noodles and vegetables  can
be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring sauce  to
room temperature before continuing, thinning with additional broth  if
necessary.) Add vegetable strips to noodles. Toss with enough  peanut
sauce to coat. Sprinkle with peanuts and sesame seeds.  Yield: 6
