  2. Pour in the tomato sauce and soy sauce, and sprinkle in the sugar. Stir the mixture to combine, seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Opt for fresh corned beef from the deli for enhanced flavor and texture. If you’re out of tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes or homemade sauce works perfectly. Taste as you go to adjust seasonings to your liking.
