  • 1 tsp Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Kikkoman® Tamari Soy Sauce
  • 0.25 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 medium onion
  • 5 stalks scallions
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions

  1. Trim the beef by placing it flat on a cutting board and cutting away any white, stringy gristle.
  2. In a bowl, add baking soda, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, tamari, and white pepper powder. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Halve the onion to create a flat surface, then chop into 1/4-inch thick slices and separate by hand.
  4. Make the stir-fry sauce by mixing oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, chili sauce, sugar, and cooking wine in a small bowl.
  5. Once the beef has absorbed the marinade, add oil and mix in to seal the marinade and lock in juices.
  6. Heat the wok on high heat until it just begins to smoke or barely smokes.
  7. Taste to adjust flavors and plate. Serve in a large serving bowl or plate for family-style dining.
