Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with ants climbing a tree glass noodles. That's right, this recipe is a lot more than just a very catchy, slightly disconcerting name since it's beautiful, very easy, and extremely delicious. And I'm pretty sure if you give it a try, it's going to be your new favorite noodle dish. And to get started, we're going to soak some glass noodles in some cold, fresh water.
And it's critically important that the ones
we're using are made from mung beans and not ones made from rice or tapioca, right? Those are going to look almost identical, but the texture is going to be totally different. Oh, and I should mention there's probably going to be some potato starch in there, but mung beans should be the main ingredient.
And what we'll do after kind of pulling those apart and making sure they're submerged is let them sit in this water for 10 minutes so they have a chance to
partially hydrate before we add them to our sauce. And while that's happening, we can start working on the rest of the dish. And that's going to start by breaking up and browning some ground pork and some vegetable oil set over mediumigh heat. And as usual, how small you break up your pieces of meat is going to be up to you. But keep in mind, the dish is called ants climbing a tree.
