Where to find ingredients
You can find these fresh ingredients at your local community market (soko) or supermarket produce aisles. Look for Japanese-style broccoli and standard soy sauce in the international foods section. Beef strips can be requested at your local butcher (nyama choma style cuts or standard stir-fry strips work best). Cornstarch and bouillon cubes are available in the dry goods section of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables: steam the carrots, bell pepper, onion, and Japanese broccoli in a covered pot with 1/2 cup of water and the dissolved vegetable bouillon cube until tender yet crisp.
- Season the beef strips lightly with salt.
- In a large pan or wok, heat a little vegetable oil and sear the beef strips until browned.
- Combine the browned beef with the steamed vegetables.
- Prepare the sauce: in a separate saucepan, mix the prepared yakisoba sauce, soy sauce, sunflower oil, and 500ml of water.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water and add it to the sauce pan. Incorporate the beef bouillon cube.
- Bring the mixture to a medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the meat and vegetables. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If desired, fold in the sliced champignons.
- Serve the savory meat and vegetable sauce hot over the cooked spaghetti.
