Instructions
-
Stir together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, chili paste, and 1 t sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.

Make sure carrot is chopped fine— ideally in blocks about the size of a pea. Chop green onions using all white and light green parts. Chop garlic coarsely.

Set noodles to cook according to package instructions.
-
Heat sesame oil and vegetable oil together in large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add carrot and fry for 4 minutes or until carrots start to soften.

Reserve 1 t of green onions for later. Add the rest of the green onions and garlic to the frying pan and fry 1 minute.
-
Add bean sprouts and fry 2 minutes more, of until the bean sprouts are soft.
-
Drain noodles very well. Add noodles and sauce to pan with vegetables and stir to mix.
-
Remove noodle mixture from pan to plate and cover to keep warm.
-
If you want to warm up the steak, add 1 t vegetable oil to pan and turn heat to high. Add steak slices to pan briefly (less than 10 seconds, you don’t want to overcook the steak!).
-
Arrange steak slices over noodles and serve.
