# Method Steps:

01 - In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Mix thoroughly and set aside while preparing vegetables and sauce.
02 - In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Simmer over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
04 - Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add a small amount of oil and stir-fry the marinated beef in batches until browned and just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 - Using the same wok, add more oil if needed. Stir-fry the bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and carrots for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
06 - Return beef to the wok, pour in the teriyaki sauce, and add the cooked noodles. Toss together over medium heat until well coated and heated through.
07 - Divide the mixture among bowls and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
