Ants climbing the tree

Overview

Speaking of Ants Climbing a Tree, this was the first dish I ordered when I first ate out. Many years ago, I didn’t know what kind of dish Ants Climbing a Tree was. At that time, I thought the name of the dish was novel and the price was affordable, so I ordered another one. Only then did I realize that it was minced meat with vermicelli. I wonder if this dish is available in other places and what is it called? Anyway, ants climbing trees is what we Yunnan people call it!

  4. Then put the minced ginger, onion, garlic and minced meat into the pot one by one. When the minced meat is fried, take out the vermicelli and stir-fry together. It is best to use chopsticks to mix when frying, because the vermicelli is easy to tangle together.
