We tried this recipe: https://www.chinasichuanfood.com/ants-climbing-a-tree/ Our modifications: first, we reduced the bean thread noodles from 200 g to 160 g dried (4 small bundles from an 8-pack). We also used ½ lb minced pork as a proxy for 1 cup. Second, we reduced the doubanjiang to 2 tsp from 1 Tbsp (3 tsp). Third, we added a few stalks asparagus, cut along a 1″ diagonal, sauteed just before we poured in 2 cups unsalted chicken broth. (May 2020)
Note: This is a very flexible recipe. We have added some fresh enoki and bonapi mushrooms when available. (Feb. 2021)
