Video Cooking Demonstration and Recipe of Ants Climbing a Tree. This healthy, fast, colourful one pot dinner will delight young and old alike. We had this dish at a restaurant in Melbourne and had to replicate it. We think we came pretty close. This Asian meal is so called as it simulates the appearance of Ants Climbing a Tree. The snow peas are the leaves, the carrots are petals, the noodles and asparagus are tree branches and the meat is Ants. The delicious glossy sauce could be sap. If it gets the kids to eat their veges, a bit of fun in the kitchen is worth it. We hope you give it a try, we think you will be happy you did.
