Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at local supermarkets like SM Supermarket, Robinsons Supermarket, or Landmark. You can find Japanese-style broccoli and fresh produce in the vegetable aisle. The ready-made yakissoba sauce is typically located in the international or Asian sauces section. As a substitute for Japanese broccoli, regular broccoli florets work perfectly.
Preparation method
- Cook the spaghetti in boiling 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 pan with 1/2 cup of water and the dissolved vegetable bouillon cube. Cook until they are tender yet still slightly crisp.
- Season the thinly sliced meat with salt to taste.
- In a large frying pan or wok, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil (if using) and brown the meat strips until fully cooked.
- Add the browned meat into the pan with the steamed vegetables.
- Prepare the sauce: in a separate saucepan, combine the ready-made yakissoba sauce, soy sauce, sunflower oil, and the 500 ml of water.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of cold water and whisk into the sauce mixture. Add the beef bouillon cube.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
- Pour the thickened sauce over the pan containing the meat and vegetables. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- If using, stir in the sliced mushrooms at this stage.
- Serve the savory meat and vegetable mixture over a generous portion of the cooked noodles.
