Noodles Stir-fry Ants Climbing a Tree: Sichuan Recipe
Noodles Stir-fry Ants Climbing a Tree is a classic Sichuan recipe that is going to change the way you enjoy noodles from now on. This quick stir-fry involves the use of sweet potato vermicelli and some basic Chinese pantry seasonings like soy sauce, doubanjiang and shaoxing cooking wine. The key thing here is to let the ants (minced pork) climb on those trees (the noodles) by adding some starchy water at the end to help them stick with each other. The Chinese name is 蚂蚁上树 Mǎyǐ shàng shù, literally ants climbing a tree. Perfect way to picture out this dish.
