How to Make Ants Climbing A Tree Ma Yi Shang Shu
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- Prepare the red chili peppers: Remove stems and seeds. Finely chop 2-3 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference). If using dried chilies, soak in warm water until softened, then seed and chop.
- Prepare the green chili pepper: Remove stem and seeds. Shred 1 green chili pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Add green chili pepper and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry briefly and set aside.
- Prepare mushrooms: Soak 1/2 cup dried mushrooms in warm water until softened. Remove stems and slice into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Mince 1 tbsp ginger and 2 green onions. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp rice wine, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp salt, the prepared mushrooms, and 1/2 cup chicken stock.
- Heat 2 tbsp cooking oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 lb ground pork and cook, breaking it into small bits, until browned.
- Add the minced ginger, green onions, red chili peppers, and 2 tbsp Lee Kum Kee spicy bean sauce (or substitute with 1-2 tbsp sriracha). Stir well until fragrant and the pork is coated in the sauce.
- Add the mushroom mixture to the wok. Stir well to combine.
- Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Pour in the rice wine mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the green chili peppers and 1 tsp sesame oil.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
