Ingredients
- Beef: 400 g (14 oz) flank steak, thinly sliced, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Vegetables: 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, 1 cup (150 g) sugar snap peas, trimmed, 2 carrots, julienned, 2 green onions, sliced
- Noodles: 300 g (10 oz) egg noodles or soba noodles
- Teriyaki Sauce: 60 ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar, 2 tbsp mirin or rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated, 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)
- Garnish: 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, extra sliced green onions
Instructions
- Marinate the beef:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Mix well and set aside while you prepare the vegetables and sauce.
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

- Stir-fry the vegetables:
- In the same wok, add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry the bell pepper, snap peas, and carrots for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Combine:
- Return the beef to the wok, pour in the teriyaki sauce, and add the cooked noodles. Toss everything together over medium heat until well combined and heated through.
