Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Prep the sauce and protein

Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. In a medium bowl, toss sliced steak and shrimp with cornstarch, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

2

Cook the noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add noodles, and cook according to package directions until just tender. Drain, rinse with cool water, toss with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.

3

Sear the steak

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear in batches until browned and just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer steak to a clean plate.

4

Cook the shrimp

Add another tablespoon of oil to the same pan, then add shrimp in a single layer. Cook until pink and just opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp with the steak.

5

Soften the vegetables

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, then toss in bell pepper and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add sliced scallions and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

6

Finish the sauce

Return the sauce pan to low heat, add the cornstarch slurry, and whisk until glossy and slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.

7

Combine everything

Add the cooked noodles, seared steak, and cooked shrimp to the pan with the sauce. Toss gently but thoroughly until every strand is coated in the glossy teriyaki glaze.

8

Adjust and serve

Taste and add a pinch more soy sauce or sugar if you prefer a deeper savory or sweet note. Divide among warm bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and extra scallions.

Pro Baker Tips

✓Slice the steak very thin against the grain so it stays tender and cooks quickly in the pan.

✓Do not overcook the shrimp; they turn tough if they stay in the pan too long.

✓If the sauce reduces too quickly, add a splash of water or broth to loosen it.

✓For extra flavor, marinate the steak and shrimp for 20 minutes before cooking.

Storage & Serving Notes

◆Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

◆Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat and add a splash of water or broth to refresh the sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this glossy bowl straight from the skillet, garnished with sesame seeds and scallions for color and a little crunch.

›Over steamed rice for a classic comfort dinner

›Over rice noodles for a lighter, low carb option

›With quick pickled cucumbers on the side for brightness

›With edamame and a simple cucumber salad for a complete meal

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this spicy?

Yes, stir in a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes with the sauce for gentle heat.

Do I need to marinate the steak and shrimp?

Marinating is optional, but a quick 15 to 20 minute soak in soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil boosts flavor and tenderness.

How do I keep the noodles from sticking?

Rinse cooked noodles with cool water and toss with a little oil before adding them to the pan.

Can I double the sauce?

Absolutely, just whisk and cook until thickened, then toss with the protein and veggies for an extra saucy bowl.
