Tuna Teriyaki with Noodles

I made dinner for a friend of mine on Friday night. She is lactose intolerant so Chinese or Japanese is always a good bet for avoiding dairy. This was really simple and quick to make, She has a salmon fillet and this worked just as well with the salmon. The original recipe didn't call for all the veg, but I needed to use it up so added it in.
