Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and ginger.
- Bring 3 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a stockpot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water (or to taste.)
- Soak prepared vegetables in cold water.

- Mix the corn starch with 1 tablespoon of pasta cooking water until dissolved.
- Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, add the teriyaki sauce, corn starch mixture and ½ cup of pasta cooking water and cook until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Toss in vegetables.
- Drain the pasta, and add to the skillet, cooking for about 30 seconds, until all the ingredients are mixed well and the sauce has coated the noodles.
- Serve immediately.
