Where to find ingredients

- Place the carrots, bell pepper, onion, and broccoli in a pot with the 125ml of water and the crumbled vegetable stock cube. Cover and steam until tender yet crisp.
- Season the beef strips lightly with salt.
- Heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a pan or wok and sear the beef strips until browned.
- Combine the browned beef with the cooked vegetables.
- For the sauce, mix the prepared Yakisoba sauce, soy sauce, sunflower oil, and the 500ml of water in a separate saucepan.
- Dissolve the cornflour in a little cold water and stir it into the sauce mixture along with the crumbled beef stock cube.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the pan containing the beef and vegetables, mixing well, and simmer for a few minutes.
- If using, stir in the sliced mushrooms.
- Serve the beef and vegetable stir-fry over the cooked spaghetti.
