Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz boneless beef steak (sirloin or flank), sliced into thin strips
- 8 oz shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable or sesame oil recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Rinse the shrimp under cold water thoroughly and slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness during cooking.
- Cook Noodles: Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until they reach al dente texture. Once done, drain them well and set aside to avoid sogginess.
- Cook Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Sauté the beef strips for approximately 3 minutes, stirring frequently until the meat is browned yet tender. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Sauté Vegetables and Shrimp: Add another tablespoon of oil to the same skillet if necessary. Sauté the mixed vegetables for about 5 minutes until they become softened but still crisp. Then add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are done.
- Combine and Heat Through: Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the cooked rice noodles. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and add the grated fresh ginger. Toss all the ingredients together over medium heat, stirring gently to coat everything evenly and heat through thoroughly.
- Serve: Transfer the noodles mixture to plates and garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use sirloin or flank steak for best results due to their tenderness and flavor.
- Ensure shrimp is peeled and deveined for a clean texture and taste.
- Rice noodles can be substituted with other types of noodles like soba or udon if preferred.
- Adjust teriyaki sauce amount according to taste preference or sodium restrictions.
- For enhanced flavor, you can marinate beef briefly in some teriyaki sauce before cooking.
- Be sure not to overcook shrimp as they can become tough and rubbery.
