Kylie, cornstarch thickens the sauce. It adds texture to the dish.

Where can I find beef/chicken cubes?

They are available in most supermarkets in the Philippines and here in the US. You may also want to substitute beef cube with 1 cup of beef broth, but you will need to omit the 3/4 cup water in the recipe.
