Udon Noodles With Asparagus And Cashews

Our Savior is Jesus Christ, not government. Government is not designed by God to provide our ultimate hope. It is to corrupt the mission of the church to think government can advance the cause of Christ. Throughout history, the church was often the strongest under repressive, pagan regimes. Our trust must be in the Lord. He is Lord over government. Only He is the Savior of the world. Our goal is evangelism. Though I understand the context is different, there is nothing in the Bible of the Apostles trying to overturn Rome. No calls to civil disobedience. Our primary goal is to see people transformed by the Gospel. Jesus Christ changing hearts is the greatest way to change a culture. As Jesus said, “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Mt. 24:14). Human government is only a picture of Christ’s reign.

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 by

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
