Ants Climbing A Tree (Ma Yi Shang Shu)
When I was a child, my grandmother told me a story about a poor man who stir-fried vermicelli with minced meat. The tiny bits of meat resembled ants crawling on tree branches, leading to the dish being named "Ants Climbing a Tree." This dish embodies the wisdom of everyday life. Today, I’d like to share the recipe for Ants Climbing a Tree with you all.
