INSTRUCTIONS

PRE-STEAMING: The original recipe used raw vegetables in the stir fry and
added water to the wok until the vegetables were bright green. Instead of
'sweat-frying' the vegetables, steam them for 3 minutes with a piece of
fresh ginger the size of a small table grape. Shock the vegetables in ice
water, drain and towel dry
Bring a pot of water to the boil. Cook the noodles; they will take about 5
to 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in wok over high heat. Fry the garlic until the oil is
aromatic (1 minute or less). Reduce heat. Add the cashews and stir briefly.
Add the steamed vegetables and stir fry to heat through. Clear a space in
the center of the wok. Pour in the cornstarch mixture. (see tip) The
alcohol will burn about as quickly as it takes to drain the noodles; shake
off some of the water but not all; add wet noodles to the wok; gently stir
to form sauce. Serve at once.
TIP: Add a little pasta water to the wok to prevent the sauce from burning
while draining the noodles. It helps to have a assistant.
SPRINGTIME: These hearty noodles were delicious with the light sauce,
cashews, sweet pea pods and young asparagus. A winner. Tested Apr-26-1998

A Message from our Provider:

“No one understands like Jesus”

Because we are in Christ, there are no longer any hostilities in us that will always exist between those in the world. Ephesians 2:14, “For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall.” We don’t employ the trite, superficial and flawed tactics of the world. Many of them are now championed more than ever in our day. We understand that the blood of Christ has cleansed us from our sin and has adopted us into His family. Thus, we see others different from us as part of the family of God, forgiven as we have been forgiven. We accept each other because God has accepted all of us. Our unity is not what we look like, but rather who we are in Christ. “[Christ] Himself [made] the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity” (Eph. 2:15b-16).
