1 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Braggs Liquid Aminos)
1 beef bouillon cube
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 (16 ounce) can bean sprouts, drained
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Brown meat in a large skillet and drain.
Add 1 1/2 cups water, soy sauce, bouillon cube, celery, onion, bean sprouts, and water chestnuts.
Mix well, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat: simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, blend cornstarch and 2 T water until smooth.
Stir into meat mixture; cook until mixture thickens and boils.
