1
Prepare 4 slices of ginger and mince 4 cloves of garlic. Cut celery into 2-inch sections.
2
Slice beef against the grain of the muscle fibers. Marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, water, cornstarch, and baking soda. After the other seasonings are mixed, add sesame oil and cooking oil and mix well. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.
3
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of sugar and salt, then immediately add celery. Stir-fry for about 1.5 minutes, add a splash of rice wine, stir briefly to evaporate the alcohol, then remove celery from the pan.
4
Add more oil to the wok if needed. Add ginger and garlic, stir briefly until fragrant, then add beef. Spread the beef out in the pan and let it pan-fry until the bottom is lightly browned, about 1 minute.
5
Continue stir-frying the beef until about 80% cooked. Add rice wine and toss briefly to evaporate the alcohol. Season with soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and mix evenly.
6
Add about 1/2 cup of water to the pan. The water will quickly boil and thicken into a sauce due to the cornstarch added earlier. Return the celery to the pan, sprinkle with black pepper powder, and toss everything together briefly.
