The best way to get a tasty meal consistently is to follow the recipe. Dai people enjoy pork and in the open markets any imaginable part of a pig is available for eating. Le Mu Ma Piet—Pork and Peppers is a tasty option. The recipe is a simple one, and if followed, the result is a delicious meal, Dai-style.

Dai-Style Pork and Peppers
Thinly slice:
2 Tomatoes
2 Green Peppers (as hot as you like them)
Set these aside.
Combine in a small bowl:
1 teaspoon Corn Starch
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
Next prepare and mix together:
2 cups Pork—thinly sliced
One Onion—thinly sliced
1 Garlic clove—crushed
Add the pork combo to the soy sauce combo and mix well.
Heat:
1/3 cup Oil in a wok or frying pan.
Carefully add the pork and stir fry until done. Add the tomatoes and peppers, stirring until heated through. Serve over rice, eat with chop sticks, and pray for the Dai and Enjoy!

In Peter’s second letter he shares with us a recipe of 8 ingredients that when properly added one to another the outcome is amazingly life changing! Do you desire to know Christ in effective and useful ways? Here’s how:

Effective Life in Christ
Begin with: Faith (Without faith it is impossible to please God. Heb. 11:6)
Now add: Goodness (For the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. Eph. 5:9)
Combine with: Knowledge (The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Prov. 1:7)
Add a good measure of: Self-control (…be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 1 Pet. 4:7)
Stir in: Perseverance (May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance. 2 Thess. 3:5)
Godliness is not an optional ingredient, do not leave it out. (…godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Tim. 4:8)
Mix well with: Brotherly kindness (May the LORD show kindness to you, as you have shown to your dead and to me. Ruth 1:8)
Top it all with: Love (…love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Pet. 4:8)
“So make every effort to apply the benefits of these promises to your life. The more you grow like this, the more you will become productive and useful in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:5; 8). By increasingly imitating Jesus, others will be able to taste and see that the Lord is good. Father God, You not only give us good food to eat but the recipe for how to live a life that is rich and full. We pray today for the Dai to incorporate this recipe from 2 Peter 1:5-8 into their lives. May it be a family favorite that is enjoyed and passed down from generation to generation. Thank You Father, that through Your Son we can live life effectively.
