Ants Climbing a Tree Noodles

The quirky name of this dish comes from its appearance where the little bits of mince (the ants) look like they're climbing a tree branch (the vermicelli noodles). It's easy to make and the rich heat from the LA JIAO BLEND and MA LA BLEND gives a lovely depth of flavour, with a seriously spicy kick!
