Ground beef and bean thread vermicelli stir fry

 I had bean sprouts and ground beef on hand and decided it had been awhile since I made a stir fry.   This post has photos of the bean thread vermicelli I use. 

2 tbs canola oil

1 lb lean ground beef

package of bean sprouts rinsed an drained

2 cloves garlic minced

3 green onions diced

1 carrot diced

1 stalk celery diced

150g (or 4 small pkgs) bean thread vermicelli

Sauce:

1/4 c oyster sauce

3 tbs soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp hot sauce or chili flakes

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp ground ginger

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.  Soak vermicelli in hot water for 5 minutes until softened.  Drain and cut into shorter lengths. Set aside.

Saute garlic in oil, add ground beef and brown it.  Add celery and carrots and saute for about 3 minutes.  add sprouts for another 3 minutes.  mix in vermicelli, sauce and green onion.
