Mǎyǐshàngshù (simplified Chinese: 蚂蚁上树; traditional Chinese: 螞蟻上樹) is a classic Sichuan dish in Chinese cuisine. Additional names for the dish include "Ants climb tree", "ants climbing up a tree", "ants on the tree", "ants creeping up a tree", "ants climbing a hill" and "ants climbing a log". The dish consists of ground meat, such as pork, cooked in a sauce and poured over bean thread noodles. It is so called because the bits of ground meat clinging to the noodles evoke an image of ants walking on twigs. Other ingredients in the dish may include rice vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, scallions, garlic, ginger, and chili paste.
