Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers in the fresh fruits and vegetables aisle of local grocery stores. Spaghetti and pantry essentials like soy sauce, cornstarch, and bouillon cubes are available in the pasta and dry goods sections. For the prepared yakisoba sauce, check the international or Asian specialty aisle. If unavailable, a combination of soy sauce, a touch of oyster sauce, and sugar can serve as a simple substitute for the base sauce profile.
Preparation method
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables by steaming the carrots, bell peppers, onions, and broccoli in a covered pan with 1/2 cup water and the dissolved vegetable bouillon cube until tender-crisp.
- Season the beef strips with salt.
- Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet or wok and sear the beef strips until browned.
- Add the seared beef to the pot with the steamed vegetables.
- For the sauce, combine the prepared yakisoba sauce, soy sauce, sunflower oil, and 500ml of water in a separate saucepan.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water and stir into the sauce mixture along with the crumbled beef bouillon cube.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the meat and vegetables, stirring well and letting it simmer for a few minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, if using.
