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.
