This delicious Asian beef noodle stir-fry is so simple to prepare that you'll be eating dinner in no time.
To tenderize and flavor the beef, it must be first marinated in a combination of soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil. Mirin is a Japanese sweet rice wine used in cooking. It can also be substituted with Chinese rice wine vinegar.
