05 - 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed

# Directions:

01 - In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and set aside while preparing vegetables and sauce.
02 - In a small saucepan, mix soy sauce, honey, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and hold.
03 - Prepare the egg or soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
04 - Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add a small amount of oil, then stir-fry the marinated beef in batches until browned and just cooked through, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
05 - In the same wok, add more oil if necessary. Stir-fry red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and carrots for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
06 - Return the cooked beef to the wok along with the teriyaki sauce and cooked noodles. Toss all ingredients together over medium heat until thoroughly combined and heated through.
07 - Divide the mixture into bowls and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions.
