Crush or mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger. In a bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the teriyaki sauce, garlic and ginger with a fifth of the white wine vinegar, along with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the steak strips to the bowl, mix well to combine and set aside to marinate.
Thinly slice the cucumber. Transfer to a bowl along with the sugar and the rest of the white wine vinegar. Add a pinch of salt, then mix well and set aside.
Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan for the noodles. Chop the leek into thin half rings and finely dice the carrot. Heat a drizzle of sunflower oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the carrot and leek for 6 - 8 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Heat another drizzle of sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is nice and hot, fry the steak strips in their marinade for 1 minute until evenly browned, leaving them slightly rare if preferred (see Tip).
Tip: fry the steak strips for more or less time as preferred, depending on how rare you'd like them.
In the meantime, boil the noodles for 3 - 4 minutes, then drain and transfer to the vegetables. Stir in the East Asian-style sauce and cook for 1 more minute, then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil as preferred.
Did you know... wholegrains contain more fibre than white grains, as well as 3 - 5 times more vitamins and minerals; such as calcium, magnesium and iron, along with vitamins B1, B2 and E.
Serve the noodles and vegetables on plates and top with the steak strips. Serve the quick-pickled cucumber on the side.
Did you know... steak is not only high in iron, it's also rich in potassium, which benefits blood pressure. Other good sources of potassium are bananas, potatoes, wholegrains, pulses, nuts, vegetables, salmon and milk.
