Devon Church Leisure Group, Mic and Taro, Recipe – Tofu Noodle

2010 last Devon Church Leisure Group meeting was held on December 14. This group is consists mostly Senior Citizens, but couple of young people have been coming for the end-time Bible study.


Here are the photos of the people who are enjoying the Bible Study.

It is interesting to study for the future events in the Bible. However, before the lesson, Pastor warned us , “Do not study the future events in fun or for increasing the knowledge. Why are we studying the prophecies or revelation in the Bible, then? The answer is that making our daily lives better. Well, how can we make our lives better?”
“Because Jesus would be coming again, we have to prepare ourselves to meet Jesus Christ face to face.”
“What are the important things to do for preparing us?”
“Practice the love of God; love one another. Without knowing how Jesus loved us first we can’t love others. So, at first confirming our faith on Jesus Christ the Lord, and then practice His command “love one another” with His love.”
“Then, let’s start to study the future events, but please meditate how we can make our lives better with this study.”

After the Bible study everybody enjoyed doing the exercise led by one the members.

Chinese foods were ordered for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and for the year-end. Last year we ate the same Chinese food for the same occasion. There were Mic and Taro in the party and the foods were picked up Mic and Hiroko’s Dan-san.

This year, Hiroko had to go pick up the Chinese foods with Dan-san.
“Shall we ask Charlie for help to bring those foods?”
“Mic and I brought all those foods last year. We can do it without help.”
“Mic is much younger.”
“Well, let’s try.”
It was heavy 12 dishes plus 6 rice containers.”

Here are the photos of the Chinese takeout place.

Hiroko forgot to take the photo of those delicious Chinese foods because of busy eating.
This is the list of foods ordered for about 16 people:
8 Egg Roll – cut half, so 8 was enough for 16
2 dishes each of Chicken Lo Mein, Sweet and Sour Pork, Bean Curd Home Style, Chicken with Vegetables, Roast Pork with Broccoli, Beef with Snow Pea Pod
Almost all the foods were gone. Mic, do you remember the taste of this Chinese food?
Last year Mic, Taro and Hiroko went to the restaurant to test the foods before ordering the food.

Here is last year’s photo of Taro and the foods in the restaurant.

Everyone loves the bean curd dishes for their health.
Here is the bean curd noodle recipe:

Bean curd noodle became much spongy in the soup, so this time fried it with 1 Tbsp oil.
Put fried noodle on the plate.

In the same frying pan, sauté any vegetables in the refrigerator cutting couple inches long. Hiroko used bean sprouts, celery, onion, green onion and shrimps. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Take the pan off the heat, and season the vegetables again with 1 Tbsp of mixture of the same amount of Oyster sauce, shoyu, sesame oil, and little sugar and vinegar.

Put the vegetables on top of the noodle, and garnish with vinegary ginger and sea-weed (nori)
