Simultaneously transmitting/refracting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) has been introduced to achieve full coverage area. This paper investigate the performance of STAR-RIS assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks over Rician fading channels, where the incidence signals sent by base station are reflected and transmitted to the nearby user and distant user, respectively. To evaluate the performance of STAR-RIS-NOMA networks, we derive new exact and asymptotic expressions of outage probability and ergodic rate for a pair of users, in which the imperfect successive interference cancellation (ipSIC) and perfect SIC (pSIC) schemes are taken into consideration. Based on the approximated results, the diversity orders of $zero$ and $ {\frac{{\mu _n^2K}}{{2{\Omega _n}}} + 1} $ are achieved for the nearby user with ipSIC/pSIC, while the diversity order of distant user is equal to ${\frac{{\mu _m^2 K}}{{2{\Omega _m}}}}$. The high signal-to-noise radio (SNR) slopes of ergodic rates for nearby user with pSIC and distant user are equal to $one$ and $zero$, respectively. In addition, the system throughput of STAR-RIS-NOMA is discussed in delay-limited and delay-tolerant modes. Simulation results are provided to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analyses and demonstrate that: 1) The outage probability of STAR-RIS-NOMA outperforms that of STAR-RIS assisted orthogonal multiple access (OMA) and conventional cooperative communication systems; 2) With the increasing of configurable elements $K$ and Rician factor $\kappa $, the STAR-RIS-NOMA networks are capable of attaining the enhanced performance; and 3) The ergodic rates of STAR-RIS-NOMA are superior to that of STAR-RIS-OMA.
