Food For Thoughts . . .

Ants Climbing a Tree ( 蚂蚁上树 ) is a classic dish from Sichuan cuisine.

Despite the funny name, it does not contain ants. It is made with glass

noodles (mung bean vermicelli) stir-fried with minced pork, garlic, soy sauce,

and often a bit of spicy bean paste. The name comes from how the tiny

bits of pork stick to the noodles, making them look like ants climbing on

branches. It’s a simple, savory, slightly spicy comfort dish that’s usually

served with rice.
