Ants go up the tree, the name of the stir-fried dish, the main ingredients are vermicelli and minced pork.
The origin of this dish is said to be related to Dou E, a character written by Guan Hanqing, a playwright in the Yuan Dynasty. The talented talent Dou Tianzhang, who should act for the upper dynasty, gave his daughter Dou E to the creditor, Granny Cai, as a child bride before Chuzhou left. Dou E was filial to her mother-in-law in Cai's family and served her husband. Unexpectedly, shortly after she married her husband, her husband fell ill and died, and her mother-in-law fell ill to bed.
Dou E used her weak shoulders to provoke the burden of the family. While seeking medical treatment for her mother-in-law, she also tried to make some delicious meals in a variety of ways to help her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law gradually got better. It was just that the economy was strained due to sitting and eating, Dou E had to bite the bullet and go to credit. Before the meat case, the meat seller said: "The money you owed the last two times has not been repaid, and you can no longer take credit today." Dou E had to ask for it, but the meat seller was entangled and cut a small piece of meat. To Dou E.
It's time to cook, Dou E thought, what can I do with such a bit of meat? Her thoughtful gaze fell on the top of the cupboard, where there were a handful of fans left over during the Chinese New Year. Dou E took off the vermicelli, soaked it in boiling water, then cut the meat into minced pieces, added scallions and ginger, sautéed in the pan, put in the soy sauce and vermicelli and fry for a while, and finally added green garlic and pepper to the pan.
The mother-in-law lying on the bed asked: "Dou E, what kind of dishes do you make so fragrant?" "It's fried fans." With the words, Dou E brought the dishes to the bed. Before moving the chopsticks, the mother-in-law found that there was something on the fans. Many black spots, she asked with presbyopia: "Why are there so many ants on it?" When she knew the whole story and took a bite with her chopsticks, she couldn't help but praised again and again. She also said that this dish is simply called "Ants Tree" now! "

Tips:

1. The ratio of fat to lean meat here is 5:5, so it will produce some oil when stir-frying on a small fire. If you don't like too oily, put in less oil.

If you don’t like fat, use lean meat.

2. After the meat has been oily, it is easier to fry the red oil after adding the bean paste. Pay attention to the use of low heat, which is easy to mash.

3. When frying the fans, the numbness is on the bottom and the fans are on the top. Don't turn them, so that the fans will not be easy to stick.

4. When I put 2 spoons of bean paste, there is no salt, and some salt is added when marinating the meat, and the soy sauce also has salt. In addition to adding chicken essence, sugar, and vinegar, you shouldn't need anything else.
