2. Combine beef, soy sauce, mirin and wine in a shallow dish. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in fridge for 1 hour to marinate.
3. Meanwhile, to make the wasabi mayonnaise, combine the mayonnaise, wasabi paste and water in a small bowl
4. Place noodles in heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water. Set aside for 1 minute. Use a fork to separate, then drain. Heat 1 tbs of oil in a wok over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic, and cook, stirring often, for 7-8 minutes or until onion softens. Add noodles, green shallots and water. Cook, tossing, for 2 minutes or until noodles heat through. Place in a bowl. Cover with foil.
5. Heat 2 tsp of remaining oil in wok over high heat. Add 1/3 of the beef mixture and stir-fry for 30-60 seconds or until brown all over. Transfer to a bowl and cover loosely with foil. Reheat wok and repeat with remaining oil and beef in 2 more batches.
6. To serve, divide noodles among plates. Top with teriyaki beef and spoon over any juices. Drizzle with wasabi mayonnaise.
