For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground pork with finely chopped mushrooms or plant-based ground meat. Adjust the amount of Sichuan pepper to your preference for spiciness. If you don't have Chinese spicy fermented bean sauce, you can use a combination of chili garlic sauce and a touch of hoisin sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSoak the Noodles: Place the dry glass noodles in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Gently separate the noodles with your fingers to ensure they are fully submerged. Allow them to soak for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside. (Time: 10 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Pork: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking it up into small crumbles using a spatula. Continue cooking until the pork begins to brown, approximately 1-2 minutes more.
03
StepInfuse with Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, ginger, and fermented bean sauce to the skillet. Cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute to release their fragrant aromas. Incorporate the Sichuan pepper (if using) and sugar, stirring for an additional 30 seconds.
04
StepCreate the Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce and chicken broth. Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil. Add the drained glass noodles and sliced green onions.
05
StepCombine and Cook: Using tongs, stir the mixture continuously until the noodles soften but maintain a slight chewiness, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, noting that the noodles will continue to absorb the liquid even after being removed from the heat.
06
StepServe: Transfer the Ants Climbing a Tree to a serving bowl. Garnish generously with additional sliced green onions.
