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.
- Cook the noodles:
- Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Stir-fry the beef:

- 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.
