Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at major Namibian supermarkets like Shoprite, Spar, or Checkers. Look for the 'Asian' or 'International' aisle for the specialized sauces. For fresh produce, local farmers' markets often offer the best seasonal broccoli and carrots. Cornstarch and bouillon cubes are available in the baking and grocery aisles respectively.
Preparation method
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the vegetables: steam the carrots, bell peppers, onions, and broccoli in a covered pan with 1/2 cup of water and the dissolved vegetable bouillon cube until tender but still crisp.
- Season the beef strips with salt.
- In a skillet or wok, heat a little vegetable oil (if using) and sear the beef strips until browned.
- Incorporate the browned beef into the pan with the steamed vegetables.
- Prepare the sauce: in a separate saucepan, combine the pre-made noodle 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. Add the beef bouillon cube as well.
- Place the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Add the thickened sauce to the pan containing the meat and vegetables. Mix well and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If desired, fold in the sliced mushrooms.
- Serve the meat, vegetables, and sauce over the cooked noodles.
