1
Slice the beef thinly and place in a bowl. Add soy sauce, mirin, white pepper, corn starch, baking soda, and oil. Massage the beef thoroughly to coat all ingredients well. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
2
Prepare vegetables: finely chop garlic and grate ginger (about 2 tsp). Separate green onion into green and white parts; cut green into long strips and slice white thinly. Peel and cut carrot into decorative flower shapes if desired. Slice large onion into about 1-inch thick pieces and separate them.
3
In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients: soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, mirin, chicken bouillon powder, water, and corn starch. Mix well.
4
Heat a wok and add 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef, spread it out, and let it sit for about 1 minute without stirring to develop a nice sear.
5
Flip the beef and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until nicely browned. The beef doesn't need to be fully cooked through at this point as it will continue cooking with the sauce. Remove beef and set aside.
6
In the same wok, add 1 tbsp oil and heat over high heat. Add the onion slices, spread them out, and let them sit for 1-2 minutes until edges are charred.
7
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced white parts of green onion. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
8
Return the beef to the wok and add the carrot and sauce. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated.
9
Turn off heat, drizzle with toasted sesame oil, and add the green parts of the green onion. Mix well.
10
Serve over steamed rice and enjoy.
