Add fine salt, white pepper, sweet paprika, crushed chili pepper, and oregano to taste; mix everything together.

Return the browned meat to the pot and add a bay leaf.

Pour in tomato puree and add 1.5 liters of hot water; ensure the liquid covers all ingredients.

Stir and let everything cook for a few minutes until it starts to boil.

Add zucchini cut into squares, carrot slices, smaller potato squares, sweet potato, and corn grains; stir to integrate.

Adjust seasonings and add more liquid if necessary; add stew noodles (mostachol) and mix well.

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the noodles are done; serve hot.
