Ant on the tree, also known as minced meat vermicelli, is one of the traditional famous dishes in Sichuan Province. It is named after the vermicelli is covered with minced meat, which looks like ants crawling on branches. There is no doubt about the specific history of this dish. But this dish is very common in Sichuan and Chongqing. So how do ants climb trees? This article will briefly share some tips in this regard:

Ants usually climb trees mainly with vermicelli (or vermicelli) and minced meat, supplemented by carrots, ginger, onions, bean paste and other accessories. After cooked, it tastes light and smooth, delicious, bright red in color and unique in flavor. Prepare 50 grams of vermicelli, minced meat 150 grams, appropriate amount of green pepper, appropriate amount of shallots, and appropriate amount of onion, ginger and garlic.

Soak the vermicelli in advance, mince the onion, ginger and garlic, obliquely cut the green and red peppers, chop the chives and chop the spicy bean paste; Dilute the chicken juice with water, stir-fry, stir-fry shallots, ginger and garlic in a hot pot. Add minced meat and stir-fry until it changes color. Cook the cooking wine and stir evenly; Take out the soaked vermicelli and put it in the pot. Stir well, add light soy sauce and a little sugar, and stir well again. Add diluted chicken juice and stir well. After the fire boils, turn to low heat, cover the pot and stew, and check the stir-fry frequently to avoid boiling.

When the soup comes out, add soy sauce and stir well. Finally, add green pepper and chive leaves, turn off the heat and serve. It should be noted here that it is best to chop the minced meat twice, that is, chop the minced meat first when it is raw and then chop it after frying, so that the minced meat can be hung on the vermicelli after burning; Vegetable powder must be added at the end of the pot, otherwise there will be no crispy feeling; The water for burning vermicelli should be appropriate, and there should be some soup after cooking, because vermicelli will absorb soup when eating. If you drain all the juice, it will stick into a big lump when you eat it; This dish hardly needs salt, because soy sauce and douban are salty, and the salty taste is enough for vermicelli to absorb soup. Such a simple ant can climb a tree, and you can certainly learn it!
