ants on the tree
By HoseaKuvalis
It was strange when I first saw the name of "Ants on the Tree" a long time ago. I specially ordered it to have a look. It turned out to be minced pork and fans. I really admire the person who gave this dish the name. It's so creative. This version was learned from Lao Yang's kitchen.

1. Soak the vermicelli just until soft; if soaked too long, they will become mushy.
2. You can add more red oil bean sauce; I didn't dare add too much because my daughter doesn't eat spicy food.
3. It is best to add some red chilies as well.
4. I heard that using sweet potato noodles is also delicious, so I will try that next time.
