Teriyaki Beef Udon Meal Prep

 I’ve always loved teriyaki beef. It’s refreshing and brings me back memories of Tokyo when I was there in 2011. But the thing about teriyaki is that it’s typically made with sake and in order to get the smokier flavour — you grill. But I cheated a little bit here by just tossing it all together like a stir-fry because we’re all about eating healthy conveniently and made my teriyaki sauce without sake (great for those of you who can’t take alcohol for any reason).

Even better, you can make the sauce way before hand and store it in the fridge as a dip with other things, like my Salmon Katsu. Tastes amazing, hello!

When I was shopping for ingredients for this recipe, I initially wanted to make just two serves to have for dinner but I overbought the broccoli so I turned it into a meal prep.
