1

Start by preparing the beef mince, which is approximately 500 grams.

2

Add a little oil to a pan, about slightly more than 1 tablespoon.

3

Add 1 kg of chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, not golden.

4

Add 2 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste and sauté until the mixture changes color and is well cooked.

5

While the beef is cooking, prepare the white sauce.

6

In a saucepan, melt some butter and add a little oil.

7

Gradually add 1 liter of milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

8

Once the milk is heated, add 2 chicken cubes, black pepper, thyme, and basil to the mixture.

9

Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, adding more milk if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

10

Once the white sauce is ready, set it aside and return to the beef mixture.

11

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/3 cup of ketchup, and 1/3 cup of chili garlic sauce to the beef and mix well.

12

Add chopped mushrooms and bell peppers to the beef mixture and sauté briefly.

13

Prepare the lasagna by layering: start with a thin layer of cheese mixture at the bottom of the baking dish.

14

Place boiled lasagna sheets over the cheese layer, followed by a layer of the beef mixture.

15

Spread a light layer of white sauce over the beef, then add more cheese on top.

16

Repeat the layering process with more lasagna sheets, beef mixture, and white sauce, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

17

Sprinkle thyme or oregano on top of the final cheese layer for added flavor.

18

Bake the lasagna until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
