A tasty noodle stir fry is one of my favourite ways of getting that ‘takeaway fix’.
I often make a double batch of the sauce and keep it in the fridge so I can whip up this teriyaki beef stir fry with noodles in no time.

The recipe calls for marinating the steak – which makes the steak more tender, and adds more flavour. However, if you’re using a nice cut of steak, that’s already pretty tender (such as sirloin or ribeye), then you can skip the marinating time and get it on the table extra quickly.

👩‍🍳PRO TIP You can make the teriyaki sauce ahead of time. Mix it together and place in an air tight container, in the refrigerator. It should last up to two weeks.

🍽️ Try some of these swaps for different variations

  • Replace the steak with strips of chicken instead – you’ll need to cook the chicken for a few minutes longer to ensure it’s fully cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Use ready-cooked egg noodles instead of dried (use 400g (14oz) to serve four people. These can usually be found in the stir fry vegetable section of the supermarket.
  • Add different vegetables – strips of white cabbage, small florets of broccoli, mange tout, sugar snap peas (snow peas), baby corn and bean sprouts (mung bean sprouts) are all great additions.

You could also add a drizzle of sriracha (as well as or instead of the chilli flakes). The variations are endless!

    Hi Nicky, I have tried most of the posted recipes and as long as the recipe is followed it always turns out great. I am teaching our granddaughters to cook and how to always follow the recipe, then later on you can add or subtract ingredients as you get better at what you are cooking I let them do the preparation and if they ask any questions I help them with it, it is a pleasure watching them learn and teaching themselves on how to cook and enjoy their food. Now they are wanting to know on how to get the cheaper cuts of meat, Chicken, to use and hw to make them more affordable. Thank Chris.
