1
Prepare the ingredients: slice the ginger, mince the garlic, cut green onions into 2-inch sections (keeping stem and leafy parts separate), and separate the napa cabbage's tender leaves from the stems. Cut the stems in half lengthwise, then cut at an angle into smaller pieces.
2
Slice the beef against the direction of the muscle fiber. Marinate it with soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, water, sugar, baking soda, and cornstarch. Mix until evenly coated, then add oil and sesame oil and mix again.
3
Mix cornstarch with cold water, stirring until all the cornstarch dissolves completely to form the sauce mixture.
4
Heat oil in a hot pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add sugar and salt, then immediately add the napa cabbage stems and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the leafy parts and continue stir-frying for about 40 seconds. Remove the cabbage and set aside.
5
Add a little more oil to the pan, then add the ginger slices and let them briefly sizzle to release their aroma. Add the beef, spread it out, and pan-fry until the bottom is lightly golden. Add the green onion stems to sizzle briefly, then flip the beef over.
6
Add the minced garlic and mix with the beef. Add a touch of rice wine and continue stir-frying until the beef is about 70% cooked. Season with soy sauce and dark soy sauce, then continue stir-frying until the beef is evenly browned.
7
Pour in the cornstarch and water mixture (stir it first to prevent settling), mixing well until it quickly forms a sauce. Add the cooked napa cabbage back to the pan.
8
Add the green onion leaves and black pepper, toss everything together a few times until well combined, then serve.
