Ants Climbing a Tree

The name doesn't sound like a recipe name, and it is a bit confusing, I know 🙂 But the representation of the recipe self-explains why it's called this name, especially when you use chopsticks to take the noodles. Does it look like ants (ground beef) are climbing the tree (noodles).

You’ll need:

• 2 bunches of LongKou vermicelli
• 200 g ground pork
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tsp premium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp finely chopped green onion
• 1 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1-2 cups water or chicken stock
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

• Soak vermicelli in water until soft

Instructions:

Heat up 1 tbsp cooking oil in a wok over medium heat, saute minced garlic, minced ginger and finely chopped green onion

Add ground pork, stir fry for a couple of minutes

Add cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, continue stir-frying till the liquid evaporates and the oil comes out

Add pre-soaked LongKou vermicelli

Pour in 2 cup of water or chicken stock, turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce to medium-low heat, add 1 tsp sugar and 1tsp premium soy sauce; stir-fry to mix everything well, transfer out
