Ants on a hill - The Recipe
July 22nd 2008 00:24
Ants on a hill is a very simple dish. All you need is Vermicelli, Shiitake Mushrooms, some mince pork, soy sauce, onions, garlic and chili. To start off with you would need to soften the Vermicelli when you take it out of the packet. So soak it in hot water until it becomes soft and translucent. With the Shiitake Mushrooms you'll need to soak them too until they become soft. It's personal choice whether or not you want to keep the stalks of the mushroom but they are quite tough to eat.
In a wok or a pan, splash some oil and then throw in the diced onions and crushed garlic. If you don't like the strong smell of garlic then don't use too many cloves, it's only used to bring out the flavour and aroma of the meat. Next put in the meat and stir fry it so that it doesn't clump together in large pieces. When the meat has changed colour, splash on some soy sauce, sprinkle some sugar for flavour, reduce the heat and cover the wok with a lid so that the meat can simmer gently in the sauce for about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients, the mushrooms and the chili. Adjust the amount of chili depending on how hot you can take it or you can buy less spicy variety of chilies.
At the vary end you add the vermicelli, which cooks very quickly. You want to toss it gently so that it gets covered with the sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and then its ready to serve on a plate.
Bon Appetite.
