Step-by-Step Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
