Step 1

Trim the beef, cutting away any white, stringy gristle. Then, cut the beef into thin slices across the grain. Rinse the sliced beef in cold water to get rid of excess red myoglobin.

Step 2

Mix baking soda, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, tamari, and white pepper powder together in a bowl

Step 3

Slice the onion into 1/4-inch thick slices, and loosen the slices apart.

Step 4

Mix together oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, chili sauce, sugar, and cooking wine in a small bowl.

Step 5

Once the beef has absorbed all of the marinade, add oil to the beef and mix it in. Add cornstarch to the beef as well and give it another mix.

Step 6

Turn the stove to high heat, and let the wok heat up until it's just about to smoke, or barely smokes.

Step 7

Taste to adjust the flavors and plate once it's to your taste! This is usually served in a large serving bowl or plate and everyone can take the amount they want.
