03 - Cook egg or soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and keep warm.
04 - Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat with a small amount of oil. Stir-fry marinated beef in batches for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove beef and set aside.
05 - In the same wok, add additional oil if necessary. Stir-fry red bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and julienned carrots for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
06 - Return cooked beef to wok along with teriyaki sauce and cooked noodles. Toss over medium heat until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
