Beef teriyaki is always a big hit with my family. We just can’t get enough of thosedelicious and perfectly cooked slices of beefwith that sweet and sticky teriyaki sauce. We are also a big fan of noodles; udon noodles, in particular. This beef teriyaki udon noodle dish combines these two favorites to make one delicious dish. The best part is that it’s so easy to make!
In this beef teriyaki udon dish, the slices of beef are stir-fried after first being marinated for 30 minutes. Then, carrots and mushrooms are added along with the udon noodles. Then, the teriyaki sauce is poured over. The result is a very satisfying dish that we can’t get enough of. Enjoy!

This was DELICIOUS!!!! I learned a technique also from Chinese You Tube channel how to make beef more tender. This is great for a family meal too. Will make again.

I made this receipt but for whatever reason, the noodles were a tad mushy. I followed the instructions, and sauteed them straight from the package. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to cook the udon noodles in boiling water until al dente. Drain the noodles and later on stir it in with the meat and vegetables.

Hi Eleanor,
I used cooking sake for this recipe. You can buy it at any Japanese or Asian grocery store.Reply

I couldn’t find sake at the asian store. Can I use mirin instead? Thanks

You can use dry sherry or Chinese rice wine in place of sake.

Is it okay to use ready made teriyaki sauce (in a bottle) instead of making it this way?

Hi! I really want to make this recipe but don’t have & can’t get any sake! Would this work without or can you suggest an alternative?
Thank you!

Hi Liza,
I made this tonight and it was delicious.
I followed the recipe exactly, but it was a little too sweet for me.
What would I need to adjust in the recipe, so it’s not as sweet?
Thanks!Reply

Hi Brian,
You may reduce the amount of brown sugar in the sauce if you found this dish too sweet. You may use 2 tablespoons of sugar instead of 1/4 cup. Hope this helps!Reply
Brian
Thank you Liza! I thought maybe I bought the wrong sake ha ha! I’ll be making it again soon and will use less brown sugar.
