Where to find ingredients
Chinese broccoli and specialty Asian ingredients are best found at Asian grocers or the produce aisle of large supermarkets. Soy sauce, cornstarch, and bouillon cubes are staples available at any local grocery store. For the best result, use fresh produce from your local farmers' market or supermarket produce section. If Chinese broccoli is unavailable, regular broccoli florets are a suitable, though less authentic, substitute.
Preparation method
- Boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside
- Steam the carrots, bell pepper, onion, and Chinese broccoli in a covered pan with the 1/2 cup of water and the dissolved vegetable bouillon cube until tender-crisp
- Season the beef strips lightly with salt
- Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet or wok and sear the beef strips until browned
- Stir the browned beef into the pan with the cooked vegetables
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together the yakissoba sauce, soy sauce, sunflower oil, and the 500ml of water
- Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water and whisk it into the sauce, then stir in the beef bouillon cube
- Bring the sauce to a medium heat and stir constantly until it thickens
- Pour the thickened sauce over the meat and vegetables, mixing well, and let it simmer for a few minutes
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms if you're using them
- Serve the savory beef and veggie mixture generously over the cooked spaghetti
