- Prepare the sauce: in another pot, mix the ready-made yakissoba sauce, shoyu sauce, sunflower oil, and 500 ml of water.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water and add it to the sauce pot. Also, add the beef bouillon cube.
- Bring the mixture to medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Add the thickened sauce to the pot with the meat and vegetables. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
