Preparation method
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables: steam the carrot, bell pepper, onion, and Japanese broccoli in a covered pot with 1/2 cup water and the dissolved vegetable bouillon cube until they are tender yet still crisp.
- Season the beef strips with salt.
- In a skillet or wok, heat a small amount of vegetable oil and brown the beef strips until cooked through.
- Add the browned beef to the pot containing the steamed vegetables.
- Prepare the sauce: in a separate saucepan, combine the prepared yakisoba sauce, soy sauce, sunflower oil, and the 500 ml of water.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water and stir into the sauce mixture, then add the beef bouillon cube.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the pot with the beef and vegetables. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If desired, stir in the sliced mushrooms.
- Serve the savory vegetable and beef mixture over the prepared spaghetti.
