Notes

Note 1 - Beef

Flank steak is my recommendation as it's accessible at most supermarkets, quick to cook and leaner than most cuts. You can also purchase already cut stir-fry beef from most supermarkets (but the cost per kg is normally slightly higher).

You can definitely substitute for other cuts of steak, or even ground beef.

Note 2 - Noodles

You can use any fresh or dried noodles of your preference. The recipe goes through instructions for fresh noodles but if you use dried noodles, they will just take a longer amount of time to cook.

Note 3 - Mirin

Substitutions - white wine vinegar, white vinegar

Storage

Store your beef teriyaki noodles in airtight containers for 3-4 days. While the noodles might soften and veggies lose their crispness after 2-3 days, some enjoy them even up to 5-6 days, just with different textures.

Reheat

Drizzle a tablespoon of water over the dish before reheating. Don't stir the noodles yet. Then reheat in 1-minute intervals, carefully stirring after each zap. It'll take approx. 3 minutes.
