Instructions

  1. Combine teriyaki sauce, ½ cup soy sauce, mirin, water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until ingredients dissolve. Bring to boil then reduce heat to low.
  2. Place cornstarch in small bowl and whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons of the simmering sauce. Add back to saucepan and whisk until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Place beef and ⅔ cup of sauce in a large bowl, mixing until beef is thoroughly coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Keep remaining sauce warm until ready to serve.
  4. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions, shortening cooking time by 2 to 3 minutes so that noodles are al dente. Remove from heat, drain and toss with oil. Set aside.
  5. Strain excess marinade from beef, and cook beef in large skillet or wok over medium heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet, place on plate and cover with foil until ready to serve.
  6. Mix together remaining ¼ cup soy sauce, ginger and rice wine vinegar in skillet or wok large enough to hold the noodles. Cook over high heat until boiling, reduce heat to medium and add cooked noodles, heating through until sauce thickens and coats the noodles.
  7. To serve, place hot noodles on plate and top with beef. Garnish with scallions and pickled ginger, and serve with remaining sauce on the side for drizzling.

Notes

  • Try making homemade udon noodles from scratch instead of using store-bought.
  • If you don't use the remaining sauce for drizzling if would be delicious in other stir-fries.
  • I've received some feedback that this is a lot of ginger. This amount is what Disney has provided in their original recipe (source is linked in the following bullet point). That being said, I enjoy the recipe as written above, however everyone's taste is different, and you can reduce the amount of ginger to your liking.
