Stir-Fried Soba with Teriyaki Beef

0 comments

This noodle dish originated from a famous Australia food magazine - Superfood Ideas, but this recipe is somewhat far from the original. I made a few tweaks to the recipe because I find the original a little too dry to my liking.

The most challenging part is to get the beef cooked to the right texture and it took me a few attempts before I got it right.


Ingredients:

  • 300 gm soba (pre-cooked) 
  • 300 to 400 gm lean beef (sliced) 
  • 100 gm beansprout (tail and head removed) 
  • Teriyaki sauce 
  • 2 cloves of garlic (diced) 
  • Freshly ground black pepper 


Preparation:

  • Marinate the beef with 3 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce for at least 1 hour 
  • Heat oil in wok and add in garlic 
  • Using high heat, quickly stir-fry beef until 80% done and set aside 
  • Add 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce to the same wok and bring it to boil 
  • Add soba to the boiling teriyaki sauce and mix evenly 
  • Stir in the beansprout and let it cook 
  • Put the beef back into the wok and stir-fry a little ensuring that it doesn't overcook 
  • Quickly grind some black pepper over the noodles and mix evenly 
  • Top with some Japanese seaweed before serving (optional)
