Pork and Vegetable Teriyaki Soba Noodles

Today I learned the value of marinating overnight. Sure, recipes usually say a few hours to overnight. And even though I know which days I'm cooking what, I sometimes don't think ahead on the marinating until it is too late. Yesterday I had planned on making stir-fry, but I fell asleep and decided to save it for today. The overnight marinating made a huge difference in the taste of the pork.
