Make Your Own G.F.Teriyaki Bowls

  This afternoon I'm making chicken teriyaki bowls again.  This is one of the few ways my grandkids like Chinese food! 

     The teriyaki marinade and sauce recipes come from my Heritage School cookbook, the first school I taught in after I graduated from college.  I have shared many of the recipes from that cookbook on this site.

     I learned how to cook Chinese food from my friend Rose who was born in Taiwan.  The tips for cooking vegetables comes from her demonstration to me when she came over one day when we hosted International students so I could learn the tricks on how to cook Chinese food.   I find Chinese cooking a lot fun--you can mix and match the vegetables, and add other vegetables like cabbage and snow peas, etc.

Gluten Free Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

1.  Prepare chicken:  Cut 2 chicken breasts into thin slices or into chunks.

2.  Prepare teriyaki marinade - In a medium bowl put:
(1)  1/4 cup gluten free tamari
(2) 1/4 cup rice vinegar
(3)  Mince 1/2 teaspoon of ginger root
(4)  Mince 1 clove of garlic
(5)  Pour over chicken and put in the refrigerator for  6 hours, but not more than 24 hrs.

3.  Prepare vegetables:
(1)  Slice 2-3 carrots  on the diagonal.
(2)  Slice 1 red pepper.
(3)  Slice 2 stalks of celery on the diagonal.
(4)  Cut 1 cup of broccoli into florets.  My Chinese friend taught me how to chop up the stem into thin slices so it's not wasted.
(5)  Slice 1/2 to 1 onion in half and then across the dome.
(6)  Slice 1 zucchini in half and then cut on the diagonal.

4.  Teriyaki sauce - In a medium-sized bowl put:
(1)  1 cup gluten free tamari
(2)  1/2 cup rice vinegar
(3)  3-4 T sugar
(4)  1 teaspoon ginger or use 2 teaspoons of minced ginger root.
(5)  Mince 1 clove of garlic

5.  Meanwhile prepare white or brown rice.  Follow directions for how much rice you would like. For 6 people I cook up about 3 cups of rice  and add water according to the directions on the bag.

6.  Prepare chicken teriyaki vegetable bowls:
(1)  Drain the marinade off the chicken.
(2)  Put 2 T of coconut oil into a wok and warm up.
(3)  Add the chicken and stir-fry until done.  Put in a covered dish.
(4)  Wipe out wok and add 1 to 2 T more coconut oil.
(5)  Add the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
(6)  Then add 1/4 cup of water and put the lid on and time for 3 minutes.
(7)  Stir in chicken and the teriyaki sauce.
(8)  Taste and make any adjustments--more tamari?

7.  Assemble:  Heap rice into a deep bowl and top with chicken teriyaki and vegetables.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  You can let people add more tamari or Sriracha.

What is the Spiritual Meaning of the Book of Numbers?

The Old Testament tells an amazing story.  Although the plot has many twists and turns, God never gives up His intention. When I read through the Life-Studies of Genesis I saw that God called Abraham with an intention that He would have a people to express Him and represent Him on earth.  This intention is clearly seen  in Genesis 1:26-27, and Witness Lee's sharing on it has helped me to read the Old Testament with these verses in mind. 

Then when I read through the Life-Studies of Exodus, I saw that the children of Israel were delivered out of Egypt so that they would build God a dwelling place.  This was a further step.  God finally had a place on earth where He could descend and speak to His people.   

I learned when I read through the Life-Studies of Leviticus  that God has a precise way for His people to contact Him through many types of offerings.  Without these offerings sinful man could not worship a holy and righteous God. 

I just started reading the Life-Studies of Numbers, and I was touched to see that God is numbering His people so He can conquer His enemy on earth. In these  excerpts on pages 11-13 and16 in chapter two of the Life-Study of Numbers, Witness Lee Explains what God's intention is in this book:

Eventually, the picture in Numbers shows us God and His chosen people mingled together as one entity to conquer the enemy on earth. The enemy utilizes and usurps the entire earth, which God created for Himself and His purpose. How can God regain the earth? God will not regain the earth directly, by Himself as the mighty God, the Creator. In the New Testament economy, God would never do this by Himself....The children of Israel were formed into a body to fight for God as warriors and serve God as  priests for the carrying out of God's purpose....The formation of the children of Israel into a body to fight for God and to serve God typifies the New Testament believers being built up into the organic Body of Christ to fight for God for the carrying out, in its service to God, of God's eternal economy....The army of God protecting God's testimony is a matter of a formed assembly, not of individuals....God desires the formed, coordinated Body of Christ. The children of Israel were formed into a fighting army by being numbered by their families and leaders (vv. 1-16) and according to their age (vv. 20-46)....The fighting Israelites were the outward protection for the serving Levites, who were for the testimony of God. The Levites were encamped around the tabernacle, and they were surrounded by the twelve tribes, who protected them (Lee, Witness. Life-Study of Numbers. Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1990, Print).

 
I can see from this that in Numbers God is taking a further step to regain the earth for Himself. I like the way  Witness Lee shares the Old Testament types in light of New Testament realities!

 You can listen to excerpts of Witness Lee's speaking the Life-Study of Numbers on Life Study of the Bible  with Witness Lee.   You can also read the online Life-Studies of Numbers and check out other resources available to enhance your study of the Bible on Living Stream Ministry's website.
