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: You have not repaid the money you owed the last two times, and you can no longer take credit today. Dou E had to beg for words, but the meat seller was entangled and cut a small piece of meat for Dou E.
It's time to cook Dou E thought, what can you do with such a bit of meat? Her thoughtful gaze fell on the top of the cupboard, on which there was a small trace left over from the Chinese New Year. Dou E had an idea. She took the vermicelli and soaked it in boiling water, then cut the meat into minced pieces, added green onions and ginger to the pan and stir-fried, put in the soy sauce and vermicelli and stir-fried for a while, and finally added shredded 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 ideas, she asked with presbyopia: Why are there so many ants on this? When she knew the whole story and took a bite with her chopsticks, she couldn't help but praise the dish as "ant on the tree".
