Ingredients

3½ ounces dry mung bean vermicelli
3 tablespoons gluten-free oyster sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sake or any cooking wine
2 teaspoons honey
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound ground beef I use 85% lean
½ teaspoon salt
1 large carrot cut into matchsticks
8 ounces green cabbage chopped
½ red bell pepper thinly sliced

Optional toppings

Cilantro leaves
Ground white sesame

Instructions

Fill a large bowl with boiled or very hot water. Let the vermicelli soak for about 10 minutes or until slightly undercooked. Drain well.
In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, sake and honey together and mix well. Set aside.
Heat up some cooking oil in a large pan. Cook the garlic until fragrant.
Add in the ground beef and cook, separating out the meat with a spatula or a turner.
Add in the carrots. Cook for about 3 minutes until they become tender.
Add in the cabbage and bell pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the softened vermicelli and the seasoning mix (from step 2) into the pan. Cook until the seasoning is well distributed, tossing with chopsticks or tongs.
Optional: top withe cilantro leaves and ground white sesame.

Notes

Do not soak the vermicelli noodles for too long, they will become mushy and easier to snap while cooking.

Using a pair of chopsticks or tongs makes it easier to mix without chopping up the noodles.
